Yes yes we know... This is very similar to a sparkle minnow, and it also has a lot of similar parts that the Kreelex has, but we really wanted to see what happens when you combine them. This fly swims great and you can tie them in many different colors! Hareline's Shimmerbou is a really cool flash option that will swim much better than normal krystal flash, and it comes in many different colors. This is best tied in about a size 2 to 6 and you can vary the weight by adding more lead, or even tungsten beads to the shank of the hook.
