Pup your getting good at them. These are a hybrid of a couple I tie. Not so sure that after seeing yours I won't tweek mine. Just MHO the grizzly feather makes that pattern sing.

That black Hay-Lite stuff is very cool looking. Beauties, front to back, top to bottom. Upside-down minnow...... it's whats for dinner.

Thank you for your comments Guys.

AF,

This material has potential, I believe. Its very thin and limp. The shine is pretty good for a black material. It was cheap too (about a dollar a bag at Jo Ann Fabrics after Halloween). I am going to tie some jigs with the same materials and countershade with a natural pattern. Later on, there will be some scientific field testing of both patterns performed by Brian W. of Big Indiana Bass. I'll see then how the two patterns compare.
