  • Sweeny Todd

    The Sweeny Todd is a fly that I would never leave home without when out chasing sea trout.



    Thanks for looking.

      Very cool!!! |\

      Nice tying and nice proportions too.

      Have you ever tried dropping some jc in front of the grizzle spikes? bet it would look awesome.

      Good job,

      TT.

          Hi TT, yes I have added jc to this pattern before and you are correct it does look awesome. But It doesn't need it, the long grizzle cheeks are enough I think.

          These are Maxxumus salmon hooks size 6. That I have had for a long time and work really well on this style of fly. Nice light hook but also has the strength as well.

          Glad you like the fly
