Coffey's Sparkle Minnow

The Coffey's Sparkle Minnow is a very deadly streamer pattern. The Sparkle Minnow can be fished on the move (stripped quickly), on a dead drift and even swung slowly across stream. In this video, we tied the Sparkle Minnow in the Sculpin color variation. But it can be tied in many colors, even just plain white/pearl. Which is a very deadly color!! The Coffey's Sparkle Minnow is now being tied in many other variations, such as jigged and articulated models. They are all very effective and not very hard to tie. For those of you in “production” mode, you may want to think about pre-constructing some Ice Dub Dubbing Brushes. It will save you a lot of time and also material!!
