A topic on another forum had someone asking if anyone had seen any brushes suitable for nymphs, or woolly buggers...
I'm the last guy to ask about nymphs...but I had a thought on the Woolly buggers: FnF Creeper...it's not a feather wrapped around the shank, but in my head, I thought it'd work.
...curiosity getting the better of me, I dug up a package of strung marabou, a bugger-ish hook, and a color of FnF Creeper that was close to the color of the marabou. Pinch barb, put hook in vise...less than two minutes later I was done.
It'll work...and probably work pretty well.
Lots of easy color combos come to mind...
They do.

They do.
sizes too...that one is big, but trout-sized would be easy.
They make a UV Olive that rocks.

The latest: Black/blue with a chartreuse tail to mimic the Senkos that were working with conventional gear.
Top to bottom: Weightless, front weight, hidden center weight.
