Pony Bead Flukes

Tied the lures below on latigo lace with craft fur tail material, a fluffy chenille yarn, and pony beads.  Pony beads come in a variety of colors and can be combined to produce interesting patterns.  These are designed to sink very slowly as their lace absorbs water.  Their sink rate may be increased by adding suspend dots or small wraps of lead ribbing.  Hooks are bronze 1/0 sproats.  The red tying thread is a 210 denier.


I plan to fish them in clearer waters with either a 9/10-wt. fly or a medium light spinning outfit next spring.
