Maybe I'm missing something in the picture, but what exactly is the bendback
method? The picture looks like a clouser minnow except all the material is
tied on the same side of the hook. Is that it?
On a related note, did anyone catch the "Fly Fishing America" that aired on
VS. this past weekend - the musky fishing one from near Boulder Junction,
WI? The fly he tied in the show used a wire weed guard that "clipped" from
the head to the underside of the hook point, for lack of a better
description. I thought of that when this thread started and emailed the
shop owner to see what the weed guard was. They have to throw those big
streamers into some pretty thick cabbage for musky so those might work on
clousers for bass, too. I'll let you all know what I find out.

Chuck,
Use Bob's & Lefty's 'bend-back' method to make them weedless:

Mark: Thanks for the tips... And I do want them as weedless as possible,
cause I fish in a place where the bass are in heavy cover, and last two
years, due to not knowing how to tie anything weedless, I lost almost as
many bass as I did flies trying to catch them LOL, I think a white bottom
half, with a few strands of flash in the middle, and chartreuse on the top
with a blood red head would be the ticket around here because as a bait
chunker, that is the color jigs I used to catch both bass and crappie the
best....
