Here you go, Liam. In the water I would not expect the hackle to clump together quite this much, but the effect of the graduated rib on the body is clearly visible.

Thanks, Hans. I like this one a lot. The graduated rib looks great when wet. It almost gives a bead-body effect. Thanks for indulging me. :D

Hi Hans;

I love the twisted rib effect (which I totally missed until Liam pointed it out), how many tries did it take to get the correct effect?

I imagine it took a bit of experimenting!

Wayne,

I only tied the one, but had it pretty much worked out in my mind what I wanted to arrive it. It is not that difficult to do.

You give it a go and let us know...

Cheers,
