Kicking some glass :) Sultry Shiner and Killer Caddis

I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and do some thing different. I have been playing with beads and found this pattern in a book. I changed the first one a little to make them more original even though these were charted patterns. Let me know what you think.


Sultry Shiner

Hook:  Mustad 3366 size 4
Thread: Clear mono thread
Body: Clear beads
Tail:  You can choose what ever colors of superhair
Head:  2 peach center beads and a large clear
Eyes:  Red 3d eyes
Glue: I used clear nail polish with glitter in it over the whole head

On the bottom one I put silver lite brite in the middle. I like this version but it covers the beads on the inside. 


Killer Caddis

Hook:  Tiemco 2457 Size 16
Thread: Clear mono thread
Body: Olive or tan glass seed beads
Rear: Your choice of rabbit dubbing
Head:  Your choice of rabbit dubbing in loop

  1. I've caught a dozen species on the killer caddis & yours would definitely do the trick. Your header picture is amazing Dustin!

  2. Dustin the killer caddis's are awesome. I bet that if you coated over those glass beads with an epoxy they would really shine. Great work.
