Created these tonight using brown Disco eyelash yarn and orange craft fur. Each is tied on a 1/8-ounce ball head jig with a #2 Aberdeen hook.
This is one of my favorite "craw" color patterns for smallmouth bass.

Super Leech II
Here's another Super Leech tied with orange craft fur and brown Disco yarn.
I hope to fish this one in the local river for smallmouth bass. This sure looks like a big fish bait to me.

Just For Grins - If I Had Sponsors Like A Professional Fisherman...
Who might they be? This is a list of companies producing jig tying tools that I really like. See any surprises here?

Red Worms
Tied on 1/8-ounce ball head jigs with #2 hooks. Used a chenille print yarn made by Lion Brand. The color is called canyon.
The jigs are nearly 6 inches long. I feel that these may make pretty good river bass or walleye baits.

Pup's Super Fluke
It's not a jig or a fly per se. I tied this with Rozetti Velvet chenille, pink craft fur, and a strip of 1/8" wide bungee rubber.
The hook is an Eagle Claw 249WA-1/0. It rides with its hook point down. I use this style of hook when fishing soft plastic flukes for river bass.
This fluke is pretty light, but should gain some weight when wet. It measures just under 6 inches long.
