When I was tying more used to tie a woolhead sculpin, and a bent shaft wire 2/0 or 1/0 hook with wire lead wrapped with glass shaker. Cut zonker strips up around to stop with some pearl flash, and sili legs. Barbell eyes allowed it to stand and fight, but bent shank allowed it to swim.
Dynamite for browns on move, and smallmouth.
The most dynamite 'cheater' fly ive used is Todd's Wiggle Minnow. Ive known Todd off and on for years, as he used to work at Mahoney's here in JC. Good dude.
That hellgrammite will fish.
Last time I checked Todd was running trips on a jetboat up and down the Holston in Rogersville.
