    Decided to give it a shot to see if I had enough of the right stuff and I think it's okay, but got some more needs and hooks on the way. So what do you guys think?

    Oh this is on a #10 hook.

    Looks nice, i like the gold/copper tone head u have, yellow ajd orange would look good to. A straighter hook may help like a longer one i am not trying to dog it out bt the curved one gives it a bulky look and i like that!

    Looks really good, definitely would get anything that eats bees and wasps to rip it up..
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Thank you guys I sure appreciate the kind comments! Working on some more and thinking these will not only work on a fly rod, but under a bobber with a spinning rig. I just ordered some more hooks (Like I really needed more hooks, but I just get the fever), but have a good many like this and am making a guy some flies for gills and this was one, but think I may add a tiny tuff of Flame Marabou the the butt. Something about a fire tail like on soft plastic worms that gills can't leave alone as when I was primary a bass fisherman back in the 1070's we used some of them and the gills would eat the tails off. Have a ton of beads I plan on using on stuff like this and will post more later.

    That's a knockout Skip. A small red tail works good for me sometimes, chartreuse on other days. A #5 fly rod and that bug would add up to a happy day for me.
