Found this on a South African site; kind of like a Jingler in a horizontal orientation. Per the article, "the wider hen hackle adds an extra trigger for the fish as it creates lots of movement and creates a nice profile on the water." Don't know whether that's true or not; I just thought they were cool looking. Change color/size (this one's not an Ansel Adams version; these are actually color shots) to suit your needs.

moisten biot, tie in notch side down for the ribbed effect (reverse if you want a smooth body); wrap forward , tie off/trim at 3/4 mark
