Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Here is the step by step on the foam frogs I posted earlier.  It can be tied on larger hooks with wider gaps and weed guards can be added.  Just cut your foam to match the size hook your using.

Materials:  size 6 hook,  strip of 2mm white foam cut 1/4 wide and 4inches long, olive crystal chenille, white thread, 2 yellow head straight pins, black and tan marker, arleene's fabric glue.

Push hook through center of foam strip on 2mm edge, slide to eye of hook,  attach thread to hook leaving foam unsecured, tie in chenille to form belly core, pull foam back and secure at hook bend, whip finish thread and cut off ,trim foam at angle for legs and install rubber legs as shown, color foam on top and edges leaving belly white, add black spots, cut straight pins to 1/4 inch and push into foam for eyes, take black marker and make eye pupil. Coat body and eyes with fabric glue and allow to dry.
