I used three decreasing size fish spines as per included in the package.   Somewhere I read to use a stiffer head to promote the action.   I guess one should not use deer hair.   I still don’t see how they are getting the wiggle they are getting on the video without a lip or other mechanism to induce side to side  motion.

I tied two of these in the smaller size.   Did not wiggle very much (not like the video)  and thus seemed a lot of trouble for not much more a action than a flatwing style hackle?    I don’t see a mechanism in the fly design to cause wiggle.   Used a front head of deer hair and Hareline  Baitfish emulator flash for the rest and used three segments.
