In this instructional fly tying video Tony Torrence demonstrates how to tie his Carp Caller carp fly. Using some of the latest materials available, this fly lands softly to its target due to the buggy dubbed head. After settling to the bottom, the fly moves tail up to seduce your quarry to grab. Equally deadly on Smallmouth Bass this is a fly to give a shot on your favorite Carp or Smallie waters.

That squirmito material looks pretty interesting. Cant wait to try it for some Rockfish flies patterns. I think that could be very productive. 🙂
Great tip on expelling glue from the hook eye. And the fly screams Davis Lake Bass
