Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

As promised here is my step by step on the grass shrimp .  I've not yet fished it but it will get it's chance as soon as possible.  Here are the materials needed:Size 6 Aberdeen hook, white thread, small diameter lead wire, pink crystal flash, grizzly hackle, clear thick cellophane, mono fishing line 25-40lb, pink and gray makers, epoxy of your choice.  I like fabric fusion because it is soft and flexible after it dries.Step1:  Tie in a pinch of feather and a couple strand of crystal flash as above.   Step 2: Tie in eyes made from burnt mono. Color with black marker if you want a darker eye.  Locate them right at hook bend.Step3:  Tie in a strip of cellophane approximately 1/4 inch wide and twice the length of hook, as above.
