Bendbacks

One of my first efforts at tying the Bendback. The hope is that it's truly weedless in the Tampa Bay turtlegrass as I pursue tailing redfish. The key is to tie sparse and not to bend the hook too much.

With reds and turtle grass, it's tough not to get hung up when trying to sight fish on the lower tides. Don't fish deep enough, then maybe the fish doesn't see the fly. Fish too deep and you get hung up. Will the Bendback solve this? We'll see.
