The Palmetto Prince
A modified version of the original bend-back minnow, this tie works for a size-1 hook, with the hook shank completely covered with gold diamond braid. The belly is rootbeer bucktail, copper krystal flash, copper flash-a-bou, and black bucktail. Hologram eyes covered in epoxy can be added to simulate minnow.

Electric Chicken Clouser
The clouser pattern stands as one of the best fish catchers of all time (and has nabbed many a redfish and speckled trout). The preferred hook for this fly is a long shank, size 1/0. The lead dumbbell eyes are tied about one-third of the way down, using chartreuse thread to produce a wobble when retrieved. The body is tied with chartreuse and pink bucktail, with a few strands of krystal flash added as an attractor.

Bass Bully
A freshwater-bass fishing lure, its crazy underwater action makes it irresistible to bass. Lead barbell eyes are used with a body made of estaz (holographic chenille), chenille, and silly legs. The tail is a rabbit-fur strip.

The Peele-d Shrimp
Tied with a marabou tail, crystal flash chenille, and select saddle hackles. Bright colors work best in clear water and are visible from long distances for a foraging redfish. Black can be used for stained water, but a fluorescent pink thread color is a constant. A 1/0 hook is ideal.
