BEST LEGS

Recommended Posts

Yeah, those are the legs. I originally did this pattern with all kinds of weird colors and called it a "Golfing Cricket" because it looked like one of those badly dressed golfers.

For grasshoppers, I like to use 3 rubber legs. I knot then with an overhand knot, then on one side of the knot I trim off two of the strands, this gives you a leg that looks a lot like mikes, but is say it's probably easier, and the kick very realistically in the water.
