I have always liked the swimming action that crankbaits have so I turned a fly into a crankbait!

I tested it at the local pond and it works great with some pretty incredible swimming action.

It's basically a streamer with a lip made from a plastic soda bottle on a #6 Mustad red long-shank streamer hook.

I'll post tying instructions if anyone wants them.

To test it I used my little 7'-6" 4 weight but it would be better to use a bigger rod like a 5# or 6# weight 8' or longer. It casts like a big old bass bug popper.
