NEW ZEALAND KINGFISH PATTERNS (Originator unknown)

Photos submitted by Peter Brown, "I cant take credit for these but they work on kingfish here in New Zealand."

Both these patterns utilise Ezy-Body secured on the wire trace in front of the hook and the head and eyes are covered with epoxy. The braid is tied off behind the hook bend and trimmed to form the tail shape. The design with the hook position ensures better hookups with predators that strike from the tail end of the prey.

An innovative use of feathers and epoxy.
