jd1983 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2016 Found a yarn in a color I think will work. Threw a quick pupa together. It needs a lot of work still (darker, fuller thorax, maybe a change in thread color) but I'm thinking with some adjustments it will catch fish. how about green core braid tied in on the underbody?

Though the body color won't be exact, it's on the surface, and it's plenty close enough with the palmered grizzly body over it. It's has everything you're looking for except the antenna, but I really don't think the fish will be that picky. Regards, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
