Soz, not so much blinged as klanged, tail wise. Everything else looks pretty.

Steve,

I agree with Jimbob.

But what do we know. We are only Bhaji & haggis experts

Apart from the tail, they look class mate. But id be interested to know how they fish with that tail. If they catch trout, i wouldn't give a fook what they look like

You neanderthals you don't get it!

It's called pushing the boundaries, the tail's is Furled Predator hair!

Nothing will beat GP, let's face it, there's also some templedogging in the Fruitcake with Arctic fox. Go mental and try thing's

Formulas can be tweaked or battered, I chose to go with the latter.

Gregg, you spanner, you'd fish with both these, you know it!

Go on give me more.

Cheers for that!
So do I!

Mind saying that, A Blob catches, as does an App's, as does an Okee Dokee and lots of silver and gold flash lashed to a cotton bud - and they say fish are intelligent?!

Loving these flies, hairy and attractive at the same time, like Tom Selik?

Why would you combine pure attraction with imitation? The front bit is great; a lovely attractor, 'lure' even... and then you go all poncey with the tail by furling 'Predator hair' to imitate a shuck or a segmented body. No need.
