    I was fooling around with some material today amd threw this together/  I hope it looks like a shrimp and acts like a shrimp.  Maybe I will get to throw it in Tampa next month.
    Pics are not great.  I was in a hurry to get out of the house for a wedding this evening, sorry.  They will be better next time.

    Thanks guys,
    I hope it runs hook up.
    I retied this pattern with a few adjustments, and this one is easy to tie.
    I moved the barbell eyes to the other end of the hook to serve a dual purpose.
    I can list the recipe if you would like 😕

    Thanks Tim,
    I came by the shop a little while back, on a Sunday, but could not find you around.

    looks like it will move well in the water

    i went from a complicated version like that to just a straight white super clouser with brown marker on it.

    i changed my view after seeing shrimp in grass at night with a lamp in adams cut. their translucency and banding.

    as picasa doesn’t seem to work here to embed, here is the link:
