BiLayer beetle.
Black 2mm foam bottom, 1mm foam on top for visibility.
Legs are variegated silicone skirt, slightly longer in back.
I made a change by adding a ball of dubbing just behind the center point of the hook shank. Then, the foam is center tied so the dubbing ball forces the rear "abdomen" to sit higher than the front.
This improves viz, and makes the hook hang lower for surer hookups.

Scruffy, on my Gurgle-Pops, I always tie them with the rear legs longer than the front. If you think about it, hoppers and crickets have longer rear legs. Not sure about other terrestrials.
nice tie David!! the foam works wonders sometimes on all fish!!
Good looking tie, and it looks like the bass like it too!
Nice!
Have you ever tried using a 3xl curved-shank hook, like a Tiemco 200R? You would think, with the hook hanging down a little more, that hookups would increase? It works for my size 12 Muddlers.
