  1. Bucktail.
  2. Popper, Kraft fur.
  3. Weighted, jig hook, Kraft Fur, rubber legs.
  4. Kraft Fur minnow, dubbing head…this has been working great this season, needed a backup.
  5. Same as #4, lighter, brighter, longer dubbing.

Nice set of flies.

Thanks - it’s been a hot color pattern here this year, so I thought I’d try some variations.

I’d fish them. Until I read the descriptions I thought 4 & 5 were Gartside’s soft hackle streamers. I think they would fill the same niche in my smallmouth box.

I fish a lot of Kraft Fur Minnows.

Quick easy flies, and they work. I started swapping long fiber dubbing in for the heads this year - it’s denser and helps the streamers kick on the pause.
