Fred,
All I can say is wow! That is the best looking shrimp pattern I've ever seen. Do you have many problems with hooking the bottom or weeds etc. with the hook protruding from the bottom of the pattern? I know that it would spoil the look a bit by tying it hook point up, but it would make it much more weedless. Perhaps if you painted the hook white it wouldn't show too much???

Thanks NewTyer 1, rayhill190 . Jim I think you have some good ideas . My first thought is to keep the hook on the bottom and incooperate a mono weed guard. Or to lengthen the swimmerettes to allow them to act as a weedguard. But I have not had a problem with hooking the bottom with this pattern. I fish it with floating line and control the depth by the length of leader and tipit. I mainly use this pattern to sight fish the flats.
