Default Peacock Pea

Hi all,
Just getting ready for a journt to Stocks tomorrow with Wobbly Face. On the Stocks Meet thread Haribo mentioned Green Pea, so after a google image search I came across this variant (though this is attempt). I'm quite happy with it, enough to post it up. Comments and suggestions please

Should be lots of movement in that. I like the purple straggle(?) body - it's got the basics and a little bit of something different. I'd fish it with confidence.

(Not entirely sure where the Green Pea variant comes in

I think you need to post a larger photo if you want comments on the tying of it.

You might get a few "tail nippers" with that one i tend to have tails a bit shorter to stop that and it also stops the tail material wrapping around the hook.
