You can tye this style in a lot of different color combos and use various legging/arm material.

Been hesitant about posting this pattern because there are tyers out here that like to bootleg some of my patterns and sell them. Can't do anything about it - especially if it's put out on a web site...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about people stealing patterns and selling them... I was hesitant about putting my ghost minnows on here too, because they have been so succesful! I don't care if someone uses my patterns for themselves, but if they want to copy them and sell them, I think I should get a cut
Those look really cool!! I'll have to try some of those!
I really like the very last pic you posted! That jig rocks! Thinner for a winner!

Awesome lil tie that you have come up with. You make It look simple enough too. And unfortunately Im sure somewhere out there someone will sell them!

Ledhed.....have been using rubber shirts from BassPro. Have you seen any particular material that holds up better than others for the rubber shirts.
