What's in your vise?

One more bright one. Plan to fish these in the spring but hopefully sooner.

Edit. Added pic of a gray and white one. Now onto something else. Was trying hard to keep the colors separated too and bottom… didn’t quite get there but they are fishable.

My guy, what are you fishing for? Sweet flies!

The Grey one looks like a mouse... fish it like one ?
 
The front hook is a 30deg streamer hook and the head is asymmetrical (see pic, flat on one side and curved on the other). Supposed to give it that erratic xrap/floating rapala type action and dart, wiggle and pop up. Also it’s tied “sideways” so the hook if off to the right in the pic. Galloup has a good tutorial on YouTube about them.

If fished fast enough it will be in the surface and dart down. Or could fish on an int line and it will ride a little lower (more typical of how I fish em). But certainly could be twitched and skated on the surface.

.... I wanna hunt bulls with that
 
A batch of Boogymen. First time using wool. What I've learned from this experiment is consistent heads not only requires trimming skills (I'm not there yet) and using consistent (amounts) clumps of wool. The forgiving part with wool is if you screw it up a bit you can pick it out and recover the shape, unlike with deer hair. These are tied with Daiichi 2460s, #4 in the back and #2 in the front, figuring not too large for trout and big enough for smallmouth. I have a couple additional colors to mess with and will try two-tone next.
