Balance in every stage of tying is key. The notch at the tail is the overall best choice. With shorter zonkers, mini and larger snakes I experimented with alternative shapes to the tails. Straight. Rounded. Arrow point. Like a tanto or offset chisel. A paddle wider tail even attaching a sequin to give the tail a kick in movement. Both in the tank and while fishing the action had some variations. The notch not only gave balance and movement. Overall less tangle and fouling of the hook point. Even inverting the hook to achieve a clouser minnow vibe with the tail split either side of the point. Over weed beds it worked for me.

Where do you cut the top hook off? Is it just behind the chenille?
@lindsayiflyfish Жыл бұрын
Yes just at the end of the shank.
