All:
I was just tying up some Peanuts and was wondering what everyone's favorite pattern would be for our little friends.

I've included mine...tied with Elk hair on a 3/0 Mustad, it's approximately 4 inches long

Tight Lines,
StriperSniper

These are my 3 go to p nut patterns. All polar fibre..doesn't last long. All angel hair...looks wild in the water. 3/0 crease... Gotta love the topwater!

Sweet looking flies!!!

capt. stan,

what hook is that? that fly seems to have the exact shap of a p-nut, especially the belly. my p-nut looks nothing like either of those but seems to be effective.

THE HOOK IS A MUSTAD C68S SS TARPON 2X HEAVY/2X SHORT.

Capt Stan looks good, tie a yellow tail in on that I think I may have a good menhaden. What material could i get a recipe?

MITZ
I USE UNIQUE HAIR FOR THE WING AND TAIL AND TOP THE WING WITH PEACOCK HERL OR DARK ANGEL HAIR. I USE SPARKLE BRAID FOR THE BODY OR BILL'S BODY BRAID WILL WORK ALSO. MAKE SURE YOU WRAP THE BODY BRAID PART WAY AROUND THE BEND OF THE HOOK, THUS MAKING THE TAIL POINT UP AND KEEPING THE DRAG CREATED BY THE TAIL AND WING ABOVE THE CENTER OF BALANCE OF THE HOOK, THIS WILL KEEP THE FLY SWIMMING WITH THE HOOK POINT UP. I MIX AND MATCH THE COLORS TO IMITATE DIFFERENT BAITFISH.

Here is my quick and dirty Angel Hair PB fly..

It's the one with the hook and the 'oh crap, these are bluefish, hurry up and tie on some wire' haywire twist

I almost forgot to comment on Capt. Stan's pattern, it is very good! I'm going to try and tie some of these up on a Tiemco bend-back hook this weekend.

I think the Captain's entry should be in the next book of saltwater fly patterns.

the captain should go to Pattern Post and upload a few photos and some instructions (log in with your forum username and password).

I'll second that.

Captain, looks like a dome eye, but is there some other material under the eye? Almost looks like the stuff Page Rodgers uses for her Big Eye Baitfish.
