This pattern was created by Steve Gibson a full-time kayak fishing guide based in Sarasota, FL. Scott is also an award-winning outdoor writer and photographer.
A very simple pattern, but it is amazing for catching bluegills, crappie and bass. Scott uses it on many saltwater species too.
The color combination shown is for a lake I fish that has a very high perch population. I also tie it in silver (using silver Bodi Braid) for river smallmouth.
I used doll eye because I have a ton of them, but small holographic dome eyes are best. Once the epoxy goes on this pattern become virtually bomb-proof. I used the Myakka Minnow for the majority of my bluegill trips and only went through 4 all season long!
