Yea Jim I thought of that. So far I've been lucky hope my luck continues especially with 4 hooks coming by me.

dick,awsome fly,they will suck that tail in for sure.just like they do on aplastic worm when bass fishing.you have built quite the little trap.i think the bass will be all over this too.watch your 6 when casting this.it is hard enough to keep a 1 hook fly out of the back of your head.

People have done similar things - but you can MARKET yours tight now if you wanted to. It really is that impressive.

Start a simple website or blog, sell your flies and turn your hobby into a chore. Yessiree buddy!

McScruf I don't know if anyone else has made one. Like I said I remember Bruce on one of his Video's saying he like to use the whole crawler so I thought I'd make a bigger fly that sorta resembles a worm so I started tying and this is what I cam up with and I'm sure I will refine it more as I go on. My second edition has a longer lead hook and the rear has a little foam tied in to keep the tail upright. Haven't used them yet but in my head they should work. I'll try to get you a step by step hopefully soon have to try and get in to see the Doc my back is messed up. Later.
