Some straggle stone variants in 12 1xl 3.2mm.
Scraps turned into a sz. 14 rockworm. Using up some old Danville thread and it frays on whipfinish.
About filled the little box I just bought for testing these patterns.

I feel dirty.
So, so dirty.
So, so dirty.
Embrace it!

A good pattern for sure. Will work anywhere.
It’s ok, I didn’t take a shower today either.
What's the body material on the first pattern?
Olive and Brown straggle string. I tied another one with brown in back and olive up front like some of the skwala nymphs first, but it looked funny in the vice to me. A gold bead made a better head match also. I doubt the fish will care, I'll try 'em all once it thaws out. Had really good results with my first few.

You’ve inspired me to use my couple spools of straggle string…
