WOW... coooool!!
great imitation! Vlad,
I have no idea about those worms! the only experience I had was seen a guy in plum island caught a 30lb striper using a live worm... great tie!
Thanks Mark, and you are right...seaworms are very popular as a bait and for a good reason. For us flyfishers they can provide some incredible action, during worm hatches when fish would key on them. Most worm imitations are tied with zonker strips and marabou. I thought the emu feather has a cool texture to imitate worm parapodia.
