I totally dig this pattern. I bought all the materials to tie it, but one thig was rong. I test swimmed it and it was riding upside down. I watched the tying video many times to try and find a flaw I might have made, I did nothing rong. I even looked on how I tied the knott, and tried different knots with the same result. I finally decided what seemed obvious is to put weighted eyes on it to help it ride true. Adding the eyes worked, so if your interested in this pattern, I recommend putting weighted eyes on, and to what ever your fishing conditions require.
