Over the last few days I tied a small army of Skeleton Minnows to try out on our larger, more aggressive yellowfish and bass over the next year or so. In the process of tying them I enjoyed playing with different colours of flexo tubing, fluorescent beads (which may add the desired colour and weight to the fly) and even loose beads inside the flexo body that may act as a ‘rattle.’ I also messed around with permanent markers, which gave me many, many colour and weight options in these Skeleton Minnow flies.

Note that the zonker strip ‘undertails’ still need to be glued to the zonker wings in these flies using Genkem contact – see the Hot Wizard SBS
