The tail is fluted towards its tip. Hopefully, this will produce a sinusoidal swimming action behind the jig hook. Sinusoidal...I like that word. :D
More to come later on Gamakatsu hooks. ;)

Red-N-White Leather Swimmer
Recently, I've been introduced to tying with weighted EWG-style hooks. This is my first attempt with a red 3/0 Vicious Vertical Drop Hook weighing 1/8 of an ounce.
Used a Tandy Premium Leather strip for the body and red Ultra Thread (210 denier) to tie. The eyes are a 3/16-inch Spirit River dumbbell in nickel/pearl. Powder painted the weight with white powder from Harbor Freight.
The tail is fluted towards its tip. Hopefully, this will produce a sinusoidal swimming action behind the jig hook. Sinusoidal...I like that word. :D
