Default A couple of simple rootbeer wets
Inspired by Scratch's rootbeer cruncher, a couple of simple rootbeer wets both size 12, I've kept them sparse so the rootbeer stands out, the first I've strengthened the body with superglue rather than a rib and the second I stripped one side of the feather and ribbed it with very fine copper wire.

Cheers Craig

Same as dabhoy
The bottom one seems to either need a bit more adding or a bit less.
Im sure they both will catch fish though.
