Thank you all for your comments.

FM,

Tried this very grub this PM. Unfortunately, I just fished a single reservoir cove from shore. My only bites have been sunfish, runt yellow bass, or dink largemouth bass that tug at the tails. I need to get down to the river.

The action of the leather curly tail is superb imo. However, my opinion needs reinforcement with hard evidence (i.e. fish pictures).

Might be the first leather twister in history!

Hawn,

I'd bet someone else has tried leather curly tails, but I found nothing about it on the web before I tied my first one several weeks ago.

Pup love your imagination _ always a surprise and leather curl tail would go down a treat here as antidote to things with sharp teeth!

 

[Pup]

Thank you Bombora.

I imagine the leather tail would soak up some scent/smell additive really well too _ unless that's considered cheating
