utyer 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Well I suppose you could call it a leach. To me it looks like a streamer. Either way, I'm thinking it will catch fish. Try that black bear hair with just a silver tinsel body, and a little less hair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Hat 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Its a nice streamer and I would agree with Utyer. Here's my suggestion: Decrease the amount of hair just a tad, tie one third in for a tail, the second third in about halfway up the shank, and the final third at the head as you have done. This will give you a better profile for a leech pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navigator37 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 You're right. It is technically like a streamer. I couldn't figure out what to classify it as... ' black bear streamer' maybe. Less hair for a better leech imitation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
