Riverliver, that's a good idea for the cheaters; to give the extended hook neutral bouyancy. Sounds both easier and maybe more effective than trimming and coloring foam. Thanks!

Eric - yes, leave off the back tailhook. It will tangle with the beadchain extended hook coming off the belly eyescrew. Also, I think it's that back flapping hook that gets so many marginal hookups that come undone. Besides, you won't need it. You are going to like the results of this custom rigup.
