I appreciate the response...good idea on the plastic necklace for eyes....
In the photo, I had it upside down. The red would be the belly. It wasn't evident but this craft fur had gold flash in already. So it has flash, too.
What I've been trying to do was stumble onto a streamer fly or Clouser style that would have the profile but be heavy enuf to be like a 16th or 32nd oz jig....
