I tied up three that I liked and showed them off to my family. Actually got a majority decision (3 out of 4 of us) on which was the favorite, and let me tell you, that dosen't happen often. Now you have me thinkin'..........

Jiggy Why ya gotta do this to me! lol I have never used (or have) the mylar, but once again I can see it in my future. I really like the looks of that, actually looks like scales and does have the right profile. I tried to build the body up on some with different sizes of hemp string but couldn't get it to hold without slipping and spinning around the shank with out using epoxy or something. Never thought of using glue gun.

I may have to play around and see if that idea can be adapted to jig using a chenille body maybe? That silver one is an awsome looking fly! Thanks, that one goes in my bookmarks!
