If you have to have that pattern and you cant find someone to duplicate it, someone else had posted that a dab of fingernail polish or fly tying glue on the body close to the head takes care of the unraveling issue. I have not tried it but I have used the jigs and can attest to the fact that they do catch fish, but I had the same problem a lot of people have had with the Blakemore Slab Daddys, the body starts to unravel after about the 6th fish.
