Took a stab at something new

And had mixed success. They will both catch fish but I'm not pleased with the fullness of the "Skeeter streamer" inspired by Lens recent post. I was a little too impatient to get the desired result, but I know what to pay attention to now. The body is a little puny and needs to be double thick to improve on that. What do you think? Maybe a spinner too. The Chartreuse spinner came out as expected and will do fine when I get a chance to get it wet. Not much time to tie lately but I still enjoy the time at the bench.

I like those, you need some wet research on them.

Looking good! Let us know how they work for you!

The tail in that material should be fine. I also like the larger chenille when dealing with Mylar type stuff. I use #8 on 1/32 if I have it in the right color, but if not I use my size #10 or even what I have in #12. All of it except Pearl will bend over a bit when wet, but not sure about the Pearl since it's stiffer than other colors. If you like it fuller, use some #10 and one wrap is plenty! Still nice ties and think they will work fine.
