This is one of the patterns I'm experimenting with.The barbs are not yet sharpened on an attempt to keep my finger tips intact.
I still don't get the balance right for the shrimp to swim properly, and I keep playing with bits of lead and a bucket of water. The first fly was ultra sharp, and believe me there was a lot of swearing and bleeding.
As you can see the hook still there in case a snapper decides to eat some phosphorescent shrimp.
I've try another heavier pattern with my casting rood with results as good as the conventional lures. This one is to try with a fly fishing rood.
Ink can mess up the fly, so next will have a epoxy luminous body and less hairy stuff.
