Ya, those will catch fish. Mason, have you tried using sparser amounts of Angel Hair and circumnavigating the hook shank with it, ala a collar?

**Waterskeeter** · February 16th, 2011, 09:30 AM

It actually looks liektheres alot more angel hair then there really is for some reason. And I actually these leaches using the hair as a collar now, this pattern was just one I have not done it on.

Good stuff. The reason I ask is I have a couple noncommercial patterns (read as MY personal patterns) that incorporate a sparse collar of either pheasant rump dyed wine or yellow. Makes a big difference in the eyes of the fish. I can definitely see the benefit of creating a shroud with a flashy synthetic material to substitute the pheasant.
