Reminds me of a "Screaming Banshee' I tried to tie this past year. I couldn't tie them down to the size I wanted... yet! I think I only tied 12s or 14s. Want to get them down to a 18 at least! Practice, practice, practice.... I'll get there.

 

Scott, you provided many SBSs ... this is another good one - thank you very much. Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever the heck you may observe or not. lol
