[@jimcastellanos7983]

The double sparkle brush technique is super cool. I never considered just folding over the bottom brush. Awesome trick!

[@Guardians814]

I know some big spring time bass and pike who would like this one!! I'll definitely be tying some of these. Thanks for the video.

[@cgcalhoun1936]

Those sparkle minnow brushes look awesome! Great looking fly.

[@_nickhill_]

The perfect fly for the week! I’m about to tie some of these up in black and silver to fish for Itou (Japanese Taimen) up here in Hokkaido. Thanks again! 🍻

[@hop2it783]

Those minnow brushes are awesome

[@Utahlonghorn]

Another great tie to keep me busy this winter!! Thanks! Love the MFC Sparkle brush.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Enjoy!

[@kendudash1342]

Like the underlying brush technique. New to me! Thanks

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks for watching!

[@FlyCreationsStudio]

Great idea folding over the bottom brush!

[@T.N.TFly.company]

This is now my new favorite articulated streamer, thanks for the vid Brian

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brandonolson1959]

Love this fly I gotta try more articulated patterns!

[@johnbracciodieta2338]

Never realized how simple the sparkle minnow actually was. Definitely getting some MFC sparkle minnow brushes. Thanks Brian! Love the channel.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Super simple! Thanks for watching!

[@thomashagg446]

good fly to be tried in Norway on big trout!! let's go

[@jakebrewer6874]

Love the fly. Don’t have the stuff to tie it but I bet it works

[@Bertoldichris]

I like the use of the skull head instead of a cone.

[@JohnD.1969]

I like pulling the second brush over the wrapped brush. Very cool technique and look. I'll be trying it out on some striper fly patterns for sure.

[@JohnLauber]

Great video, as always. Wasn't sure where the yellow brush was going until you folded it over. Nice.

[@robhaase6810]

Awesome fly, basically just 2 materials, keeps the tying bench clear. Kinda 😊

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Pretty much!

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

That’s one sparkly minnow. I was wondering how you would use two sparkle brushes to make it two tone, and now I know. Thanks 🙏 for sharing.

[@bryanmasters5423]

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share and making the video!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

My pleasure!

[@Fozz65]

Great looking fly and video on how to tie it.

[@wadeelliott5855]

Very nice. Definitely need to tie that one for next spring.

[@user-qz2xl1fl2v]

I've used dubbing loops. I like the ease of the sparkle minnow brush. I've used the sparkle minnow with a cone head and have caught numerous smallies in the Michigan great lakes regions

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Such a good fly!

[@vaughnmiller6114]

That’s a neat technique with the two brushes.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Cool huh?

[@mikepetti]

Love the sparkle minnow! Articulated 🤯

[@barnman73]

Cool technique with the second brush. I have learned so much from you.

[@dougclark2711]

Looks simple and effective to get two colors.

[@MrEclat404]

You make fly tieing look easy. I enjoy watching your videos

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!!

[@JimMurphyinSTL]

That's some sparkly-sweet, articulated goodness, Brian. As a gold-member perk, you should send out the material list a couple of days before the sneak-peak video. That way Feather Craft will have material available before it goes out to the masses.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Suuuuper good idea!

[@alexandernickelson3364]

Looks amazing !!! I’m definitely going to tie up one and try it for large mouth bass

[@charleskeelin1126]

One of my favorite streamers to fish! Awesome tie!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@docleedc]

Pretty cool as always!! Thanks Brian.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks for watching!

[@jthrash75]

Nice tie! Liking that color combo for the sparkle minnow.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Right!?!?!

[@seanconner3897]

You make it look so easy.

[@paulbridgers3820]

Another great looking fly thanks for sharing.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks again!

[@charlieboutin3341]

I like it! I’ll try it on the largemouth around here. Thanks Brian! Always appreciated. 👍👍🎣👌

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!

[@dixonmak]

Wow, I really like the technique you used on the two sparkle brushes, genius! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

[@mikehulsey4813]

Fun tie😊

[@jeremykrauae4378]

Very nice sparkle minnow.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!

[@curtisfairman6239]

Really like this fly. I live in Florida and it looks great for the fish down here!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

For sure!

[@derekfoland1440]

Looks like Smalley candy!

[@thedesoletone]

Nicely done

[@CruixZ07]

Good looking fly, keep up the work!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks, will do!

[@samipajunen5843]

Nice as always, simple is beatiful!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thank you!

[@coyotehunter1513]

Love it! Gotta tie up some for my box.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Go for it!

[@dbflysish]

Great technique, great streamer!! Thanks for sharing.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@smyification]

Cool!!!

[@jjameses2]

Thank you for the video, I like the gorilla glue under the eyes

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks for watching!

[@anthonycole2672]

Awesome tie

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!

[@walleye92]

Great video and the fly looks great

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!

[@rickyromane7159]

Sick video! Im gonna have to try this!

[@williammattos5]

Haven’t tied a articulated fly yet. It’s on my to tie list

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

They are tons of fun!

[@quintthefishingwolf1716]

Another fly I'll have to try my hand at.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

It's so good.....

[@randymatson5710]

Good looking streamer thanks

[@Fishing.friday]

🍗🥓🥩🍖 ready to be picked!!

[@dalevillers6697]

I like the fly I assume that you can change up the colors.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

You can do any color-combo you want!

[@TheCopperVillageAngler]

Looks deadly!

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

100%

[@mikehester4163]

Looks durable.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Definitely!

[@bensilber2399]

That fly would be awesome for smallmouth bass man

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

It IS!

[@nwahr]

nice fly

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks ✌

[@trendyfly]

Nice. Thanks...

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thank you too!

[@chrisbukowski9434]

Nice 👍

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Thanks!

[@marklucas588]

Awesome fly. What are you using to connect the two parts of the fly together?

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Beading Wire.

[@pikemoucheur7812]

only one french word : BRAVO

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

HAHA, thanks!

[@AdrianStruwig]

Does the down eyed hook change the way the fly swims at all?

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Nope.

[@treysonnorton488]

What other colors do you like to tie sparkle minnows in?

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

All White, Chartreuse/White, all Black, Black/Chartreuse, and the original Gold/White.....but the possiblities are endless.

[@fisher-of-men1547]

Love the design of this fly pattern !! Curious if you've ever tried Mustad C52S BLN signature fly hooks for any of your streamers ? I've seen the newer Mustad hooks, like you used in this fly, are they a better hook choice ? Stronger, lighter ? I'd like to send you a few pics of some of my flies. Do you have an email address I could send a few pics ? PS : I like your tattoo, I know Him well. Thanks !! David Fisher-of-Men Fly Tying

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

The C52S is pretty much the same hook with a different finish....great hook. [e-mail]

[@GlenVaci]

Ahh, nothing like casting a good streamer.

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

Agreed!

[@harleytakuachemode]

Slip it and flip it. For real.

[@dylanaberle3480]

Any alternative for the sparkle minnow brush?

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

A dubbing loop of Ice Dub is the original way to tie these....works great.

[@paulconklin]

Brian what was the little lighter trick? Or was it a brain fart? LOL

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

OH! That clears the bubbles out of the UV resin before you cure it.

[@Waty8413]

Anyone else find that those Roar hooks suck? For me they dulled easily and were hard to resharpen.

[@nazarenoalpizar1056]

Pretty articulated fly…. thread????

[@flyfishingtheozarks]

210 👍
