Jelly Bean Zonker part III This is the last of the three variations I’ve tied on the weekend. Like before tied on a @ahrexhooks NS122 Light Stinger size 6. I guess the sea trout fishermen may like the pink highlight. 😉

Today, I was playing around in the laboratory with uv resin and different powder. Just for fun, just to get new ideas. I got a two toned belly in my mind. After some testing, this little guy was born. Pretty simple, but with a little touch of finesse. It reminds me of a jelly bean, so the name was pretty simple – Jelly Bean Zonker 😉
It’s important to use a wide gap hook, so the @ahrexhooks NS122 Light Stinger size 6 was perfect for this little guy. I could imagine, that sea trout, browntrout and chub will like it. Hopefully! :-D
