PENCIL POPPER

 Hook:  (M) Stinger  
 Size:  6
 Thread:  6/0 Flymaster
 Tail:  Squirrel Tail & Soft Hackle
 Body:  Balsa
   
   

Notes on tying:

1. Make a tapered body.
2. Cut slot in the balsa for hook, glue in place and paint desired color.
3. Tie on tail (I like Aunt Lydias sparkle yarn).

This is a pattern for smallmouth bass. Cast it out, let it set, and then twitch it back.
