Boyd's Sandwich Minnow

For sale in sizes 2 ($5.00)and 6 ($4.00)

I fished with Boyd Pfeiffer when he was developing this fly on a small bass pond. He was slaying the fish! I decided to test this fly in the mangroves too. It works like a charm and it is weedless! The fly lays flat on the water with it's one eye down and is the perfect wounded, flopping baitfish fly. It looks like a shad for fresh water and like a flat-iron herring or sardina for the salt. It turns out dorado love it too. I am  offering this in sizes 2 and 4. The fly is made with saddle tied on at the bend after the weedless mono is attached. Then , cut to shape two pieces of foam and "sandwich" them with glue on the bass stinger hook. Add eye, mark a gill and coat the head with epoxy.
