A Possible New Use For Marabou In Lure Making

[shipahoy41]

I am thinking outside the box trying a new use for Marabou in lure making. I am using the Marabou for a back stripe on my latex balloon strip Mealworm. After tying the lure I slick the back stripe and the lure down with head cement to make it extremely durable. The accent colors/stripes were made with colored permanent markers and also covered with head cement. Anyway, this is what I came up with. I welcome your thoughts and your comments.

Looks great. Have you thought about a flat diamond braid? Lots of colors available. I use it on my nymph patterns. Would be easier and wouldn't require the extra cement.

Here it is in my worm pattern. I took long shank grasshopper hooks and bent it into a worm shape. LOL

Those are fun to tie Mike and easy to modify as a caddis pupa. Thanks.
