Black Mini Leech

This pattern has been amazing this year. Caught tons of pan fish Bluegills, Crappie and even Yellow Perch. Very simple to tie and no reason not to carry 2 or 3.
Material
Hook size 8-12
Thread UTC 70 black
.020 lead wire
Dubbing Black Rabbit or squirrel
Green and Black small flashabou


 1. Spiral wrap lead wire 8 or so turns.
 2. Start thread and wrap to the back.
 3. Using a dubbing needle split the thread.
 4. Fill the split with about an 1 1\2" of dubbing.
 5. Wrap forward to the eye
6. Use some Velcro and tease out the fibers,. 
 7. Tie in the flashabou on top and sides of the head.
 8. trim a little longer than the body.
 9. Make a small dubbing head to hold the flash down a bit.
10. Whip finish and go fish.
Thanks Chris
