Flat toad

Namensgebung / Naming:

Habe das Muster anfänglich “slim pinky” genannt, weil der Körper im Verhältnis zu den verwendeten Augen sehr mager scheint. Habe in einem Kommentar die Bemerkung erhalten, dass dieses Muster wie flach gefahrene Kröten aussehe (run-over toads). Ok, nennen wir sie doch auch gleich so – flache Kröte; flat toad – und eliminieren damit gleichzeitig auch die Beziehung zu einer Farbe. Merci Peschä…

Initially the pattern was named “slim pinky” because the body seems very skinny between the used chain eyes. In a comment I get the remark that this pattern looks like run-over toads. Ok, let’s call them flat toad and we eleminate the relation to the color too. Merci Peschä…

Fishing instructions

Fish this pattern in dead drift or stripped it in with short strips. The marabou tail will pulsate with every strip and give the specially tic. The pattern is very productive in every water conditions – clear, muddy, fresh- and saltwater. The red and orange one fished on dead drift works well on sockeye too.

There is only one weak point: The marabou-tail doesn’t survive many fish-fight. With every fight it goes shorter and shorter – see the pink one at the top…
