Re: BB King
Steve, that is really on point. Nice pattern. I especially like that twisted body.

Gonna miss his music. I'll bet he's already jamming with S.R.V.

Re: BB King
That's a killer pattern Steve. I love it!
Should serve you very well. I'm going to tie some up.

Re: BB King
Hatter, I've not fished the version with the blue flash yet, though regularly use the same pattern tied with copper or pearl flash, to good result. Getting ready to try the blue though. Let me know if you catch one on it before I do.
