Found this on another forum, Old Dirty Caster shared an SBS which I included in the instructions as well as more pics.

 

Works like a champ...several nice reds made the commitment to eat and I pulled the trigger too early.

 

Will work well on a tube, this way you could add a rattle on the under side...some try it and post it up.

 

Very easy and fun to tie.

 

Thanks to ODC for sharing :cheers:

Nice tie, Dave. I've never seen an electric chicken shrimp :rockon: Have you tried weighting one with wire? It may help fish one lower in the water column or crawl it across the bottom

Those are some great looking shrimp, I like the shape. I've done one similar but not as colorful that works real well on the reds over here. Here is a SBS I did, this is using Craft Fur.

Those Florida fish must me pretty eccentric, that pink and chart could go in an art gallery!

Thanks for the comments...

 

Electric chicken is killer up here on soft plastics, so I thought why not. have caught fish on red and white and light and dark brown.
