Bill Jackson's is about the only place for tying material in St. Pete. There's a couple of places over in tampa if you wanna make the drive.

if u have the material,take a strip of silver,stick it round the hook.shape it like a minnow.put a small thin strip of green on the back and trim.put a larger piece of pearl over everything en trim.its important not to pull or stretch to get it straight otherwise it will disform an not swim straight.thats the trick
