Working on peacock simiseal leeches sz 12 fm5045. I like to loop dub this size w/ half length fibers. Parchment makes a nice work surface for this.
I do think they work best after a hot water bath.

Experimenting with a semi lightweight balanced “float and fly” for slowly drifting near docks and structure for LMB. 7/32 tungsten bead mounted on pin. Size 6 Umpqua jig hook. Very small slice of 2mm foam on the rear of the shank to keep the balance. It’s pretty much a balanced graboid leech
