Got a few lakes out here that thing would work in. I think you should name it "Shuck's Fancy".

tie2fish, Howdy;

Interesting design and construction but what I find I need to ask,
is that the braided or the twisted type of shoestring? Also, did you
find it better to tye with the aglets still attached or did you remove
them first?

I thought this was a test to see if we checked recipes?

I'm sorry I poached yours, Wayne -- I honestly didn't know. Actually, I was hoping for more questions about techniques ;) :lol: . BTW, this was more difficult than it would appear at first glance.

I'm sure I could use that as a crayfish pattern, and catch fish. Now where did I put that store string?...

Oh, wait, I gave this pic a second look and it looks a bit odd. What kind of dub blend did you use for thorax? Looks great.
