I've been thinking about small floating baitfish patterns for searuns.
Here is the first effort.
I used 1/8" parachute foam and reamed a hole in it with a bodkin then inserted the tube.


Here is the first one off the vise.


I used polar chenille for the tail, but I'm not sure I like it.
The red sharpie used from the gills soaked into the foam and seeped under the uv cure I used to keep the eyes on the head.
If anyone has any suggestions or a good floating baitfish pattern let me know.
