Nice tying! Too much effort for my taste though :-) The spacer looks like a lot of friction, Also I`d be carefull with too much hackle. Yours look fine and very well in proportion by streamer standards but it might deflect the stream of water for the prop. You better test it before you stockpile them.

I have experimented in that direction but now prefer the subtle tailswing of a sparsely tied boolie on a short shank. Just a wing and a few round or cone beads - there is reason in the pattern.
