Theo’s Eel Skin Twister
Our friend, Theo Bakelaar, from Holland is always exploring fly designs using freshwater eel skin. His latest “Mr. Twister,” using a tail of eel skin whallops walleyes, pike, sea trout, and others. Its secret is the tail of eel skin that vibrates as it whips back and forth on the retrieve. Further, the fish skull causes the fly to jig as it is stripped back. Its action and its sound are simply too much for most fish to resist. If you don’t have eel skin, use Bug Skin or a similar leather material.
The combination of a Mr Twister eel skin tail and Fish Skull are deadly.
