More Leather

Tied a "quad" version of the leather bug that I'd posted previously.  This one has 4 swimmerets (legs) per side.

I've learned to use only quartered lace with grainy, shiny outer hide.  Without this, the leather breaks apart easily and you'll lose your legs and antennae eventually.

Here's a jig that I think I'm going to like a lot if my intuition serves me well.  It's a simple 1/8-oz. ball head jig with a 2/0 Gamakatsu hook tied to mimic a curly-tailed soft plastic grub.

Its looks above the water are promising.

I want to field test this bait in the very near future.  Currently, I can't and it's tough to wait to do so! :)
