About month ago, my wife and I were at a local craft shop, and we found some mohair yarns.
Since then I have been tying these small minnow patterns using mohair fibers. They are translucent and move a lot in the water like small bait fish. Also they are light enought to cast with 4 weight line (Zonker is too heavy for me). I also like the fact that they are tied with natural fibers which I believe do less damage on environment than synthetic materials do.
They have been working fine for black bream so far. Today, I fished about a half hour on Cunning River, and caught 6 breams on this green mohair minnow.
クロダイ用のパターンです。ビードチェインの目玉とモヘアのみのシンプルなパターンですが、近くの川では良く釣れる毛鉤です。ダウンクロスでキャストしてゆっくりと引いてきます。毛鉤が止まった時か、ゆっくりと動き出す辺りでよく当たりが来ます。
Hook: size #10 - 6 short shank
Body: mohair fiber
Eye: bead chain
