The Evolution of Bonito Jigminnow

I've been tying and fishing this pattern since 2009. It went through different small changes: from the type of jig hook and combination of natural materials, to using a different way to weight it, to sink and ride correctly. I used Larva Lace strip lead in early versions, and moved to tungsten weights for the past six years or so... It has become my most productive bonito fly. I landed almost all my fish on it this Fall.
