Jelly Bean Zonker part III

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. 😉

Jelly Bean Zonker

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

Zonker Muddler with indestructible head

This is one of my favorite patterns. It’s quite simpel. The only speciality is the head, which is completely soaked with uv resin. Almost indestructable.

Materials:

  • Hook: Ahrex NS 122 Light Stinger # 4
  • Body/Tail: Natural Zonker Stripe
  • Flash: Flashabou pearl
  • Dubbing: Ice Dub mixed with Hare’s Ear
  • Head: Different colors of Deer Hair soaked with UV Resin
  • Eyes: 4mm golden
  • Thread: Veevus GSP 100 D

Zonker Streamer #4

A streamer pattern which I really like. You don’t need fancy stuff for these. A good hook, I used Ahrex Light Stinger size 4, high quality zonker strips, fluoro fibre for the hot spot, a nice dubbing mix of your choise, some rabbit or marabou for the collar and pretty eyes. To secure the eyes, I use super glue and Bug Bond. I often put some weight in the front of the hook, to balance the hook, or to give the streamer a jigging effect.
