Snake head pattern

[James Smith]

This is another one of my (system) patterns in that it has interchangeable tails that clip onto the diving head in about 30 seconds. I carved the head out of Balsa Wood, colored it with markers, and added some glitter nail polish, 3D eyes, and a cost of two-part Epoxy. These tails are tied with Dragon Tails, but I can just as quickly tie them with any other material that presents a long sinuous body of a snake and it swims along the surface. It can even be fished with just the head and has nice action. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. https://gifyu.com/image/SILoP

Very nice Jim - I like the interchangeability aspect. Dennis

Thanks for the kind words John. I have plans to make some that use Gamechanger tails which should work well in Shad colors as well as Bluegill.

Dennis, Thanks. I call it a "system" because it gives me the flexibility to swap different parts to get different looks. I'm making some streamers now that will allow me to use these same tails so I dual-purpose both the heads and the tails.Jim
