A prominent feature of pretty much all baitfish is a pair of pectoral fins, and adding these to your flies, especially when fishing highly pressured waters, can be critical to angling success. With Cohen's Minnow Fins, Pat Cohen has made it nice and easy to add these fins to any streamer you're tying. Cohen's Minnow Fins are made from an ultra-suede material that's super tough and can be easily colored with markers to achieve any color or pattern that you like, and tying them into your flies is fast and painless. Made in a variety of sizes, you can turn to Cohen's Minnow Fins whether you're tying a small sculpin pattern or need a large pair of fins for tying a foot-long Game Changer to imitate those freshly stocked trout.

Uses

Cohen's Minnow Fins were designed to imitate fins on streamer and baitfish patterns. These ultra-suede fins are super easy to tie in, and you can color them however you like to match the exact fish you're trying to imitate. Minnow Fins add a lifelike profile to all of your streamer patterns, and they're especially popular when tying Game Changer patterns.

Comparisons

Another good route for imitating fins on streamers and baitfish flies is to use the feathers on Hareline's Hen Saddle. These saddles come in various colors and give you a range of different-sized feathers and the curvature of their rachis makes them a perfect choice for imitating the profile of a fish's pectoral fins. However, feathers do tend to have a bit less durability when compared to Cohen's Minnow Fins, so if you're tying a fly that took an hour at the vise, your safest bet is to go with Cohen's Minnow Fins.
