Boa-Tailed Bottom Bouncer For Smallmouth Bass

Designed this one using a weighted EWG hook for river fishing.  Smallmouth bass are my chosen quarry.  Its short furled tail provides the action, while the leather and chenille body provides a profile.  I'm hoping that snag resistance will be maximal.

Total length is five inches.  Will bump this one along a river bottom with current, much like a tube bait.

Materials:
  • Gamakatsu Superline EWG 5/0 Hook - 1/8 ounce
  • Bernat Boa Yarn - dark mink
  • Lion Brand Suede Chenille Yarn - coffee
  • Tandy Leather Latigo Lace - auburn/gray
  • UTC Ultra Thread (140 denier) - rusty brown
