Floating Snail Patterns

[kglissmeyer]

Anybody have or know of a good floating snail pattern? I've seen one on FAOL, but it's not the same shape as my local snails which seem to be pretty common in most places. Anyway, if you have info I'm interested to see and hear about it.
Thanks.

ive seen one really good one, cant remember the name though. the shell was made of a strip of thin sheet foam, rolled up and glued. poke a hole through it to mount it on a hook, and tie in some mono eyes.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I can even figure one out, but that doesn't mean I don't want more ideas and tips. I've got a local spring creek that seems to have a regular snail "hatch", and the big Brownies just love 'em.

Thanks, Panfisha. Unfortunately that's the one I mentioned that wasn't the same as the snails in my favorite spring creek, but maybe I can use the concept to come up with one that matches those critters. Shouldn't be much of a stretch.

I'll post my results after I get it figured out.
