BLACK WIDOW RAPTOR

Black Widow Raptor

Hook: Mustad 3906B, #4/0
Thread: Gudebrod 3/0, black
Body: Estaz, black-red-black
Back hackle: Hebert Miner hen, black
Bottom hackle: Whiting rooster saddle, black
Head: Ram's Wool, black
Eyes: Dolls Eyes, 7mm oval

This was my own version of Richard Komar's Raptor. The pointy head with the oval eyes angled does give it a mean look. So with eight "legs" and those body colors, the name is a given. But however mean you can make it on a #4/0 hook, it will still remain rather humble lying beside Richard's original... on a #12/0 shark hook.
