I love stimulators. This one is an attempt to solve a few problems I have when fishing stimis I've tied myself:
1. Tendency to flop over sideways.
2. Not big enough!
So These are size 8's.
I used:
200R #8
Elk hair Tail
1MM foam Body (I cut into 1/8" strips, and wrap around the shank to make the body)
Red wire rib
Elk Wing
Antron Dubbing head
Medium Rubber legs
Grizzly hackle
I am hoping by omitting hackle on the main portion of the body, the wing and collar will provide the majority of the floatation, with the foam lending some buoyancy as well... but down IN the water... not on top.
My early testing seems to have worked so far.
I kinda screwed up the length of the body /wing placement on this one, and it looks a little goofy... but the process is good, so enjoy:
The Materials - Rubber legs optional (I forgot them for the picture)
and, the original with better proportions:
