Hey, if it's working - don't mess with success.
If you do some aquatic entomology research, you'll discover that most critters this jig might mimic aren't shaped like Thanksgiving turkeys. They're actually pretty sparse around the middle.
Add a few extra wraps of thread, maybe, or perhaps a course of yarn. But aside from that, I'd leave it alone.
Besides, simpler ties are easier on you. They're more forgiving, they use less materials and as noted- the fish seem to be fine with them!

Perhaps I should build an underbody like Mark suggests .next time . I 'll have to think about that and see what I got laying around .I know I have some black rabbit fur ,and some white rabbit fur too. Maybe I'll use that

Nice what did you use for feathers,  and  did  the under body  have anything on it,  any info would be great Mark

Wow! That thing is definitely a fish magnet. That looks so much like a small black Asian cricket. WOW!

What kinda feather is that - I mean, which part of the bird did it come from?

looks nice. Also very "nymphy-esque," it reminds me of the critters that might prowl around the stream bed. My bet is there is some critter, nymph or crustacean, etc. creeping around the bottom which the fish are feeding on right now.

Id tie up about 5-8 more, label them 'October Bugs' and put them in the asection of the lure wallet dedicated to Fall baits.
