Paul Monaghan ties up a Black Back Wiggletail. Enjoy!
Generous amounts of bucktail, flash and Nayat (Snow Runner) create an awesome baitfish profile. Add a wiggletail to tempt those big Pike and Muskie..

How do make the tailing rig? What is the shrink wrap for and the crimp? Do you have step by step or video on making these. The fly video does not show how these are made.
That is a good question.
I’ll see if I can get someone to make a video about the rigging.
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Craig, I struggled capturing the rig making on the video so excluded. Its very simple though. Fold approx 10cm of 55lb titanium wire in half. Insert some shrink over the bend and heat. Add the crimp to close the loop. The shrink tube is there to add thickness. The wiggletail is tied to a size 1 Mustad Fastac clip, which I then attach to the small loop as explained. I find I lose those expensive tails if I exclude the shrink tube.
Hope that helps
Paul
