Cats Whisker Inspired...

[danielp]

Following a thread on a few cormorant mini lures I was advised to try a few small cats whiskers and these are the first two attempts that I am almost happy with.

Cats Whisker Cormorant
Kinda want to add a nice shiny rib, maybe red holo or something



Cats Whisker Diawl Bach
Need to neaten up the tying, get the ostrich a bit tighter and shorten the tail and beard.



Both are size 12 so should be easy enough to chuck out on a smaller rod.

Any constructive criticisms would be welcome

The only trouble i have with any green material( marabou or chenille ) is that it runs into the white..
After half a dozen outings the wings on the cats turn a little green, they still catch, but just looks bad
