I tie a few for the stripers, or rockfish, or wipers, or whatever we're calling em today. I use a bit more stuff, and tie a white body with a bit of flash and a few blue or black on the point side to mimic a bait fish's Back colors. Olive would work too. I use a red collar a lot for the traditional look. A streak or two of red floss is also found in some commercial ties. I like a gray body too, but don't know if it produces. Those look good and will boat fish, I'm sure.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
