The one above did that but jigged on the stripped pause–up and down–like a clouser. This making any sense? Do you have any inclination to tie with bass hooks? You’ve been tying some great flies on your site.

I was surprised at how well it swam in along those shallow shelves in the canals, and through lily pads and whatnot. I got caught up more on the Albright knot at the fly line to leader connection than on the fly. The real problem was hooking fish after the strike. I had to leave the tail long to get any balance–I tried to match it to the size of a small bass assassin–and a lot of times the fish hit that and not the hook. And driving the hook home is a lot different, as well.
