The Surf Candy was originally designed by Bob Popovics and has become a staple in many saltwater fishermans boxes.  Like any good fly pattern, over the years there have been many variations made.  This variation utilizes a dumbbell eye to keep the hook point up which will make it a bit more weedless.  While not fool proof, it will snag much less easy on driftwood or other debris on the sea floor.  That means you can fish it in some places that you normally could not fish the regular surf candy.  I like adding the red sparkle type dubbing right behind the dumbbell eyes to mimic a gill or bleeding spot on the fish.  However this is not required and you could leave that part out.  

Here is a list of all the materials I used today, and links to where you can get them.
