Multi Species Jig/Fly

This is a jig/fly I came up with a couple years ago. I have tweaked it a bit off and on by using different materials, sometimes I don't add front legs but the main pattern remains the same. I came up with the idea for this pattern with inspiration from two different fly patterns. I was aiming to target bass and panfish in rivers. Bass seem to really like it, but catfish love it! I have caught a lot of catfish on this pattern. Panfish like it as well. It can be fished on a fly rod under an indicator, stripped, crawled across the bottom or swung. It really shines on an ultralight rod under a float. You can change up the color combos to your heats content. I imagine the fish think its an insect or possibly a baby crawfish, I don't know I just know it works.

Hook: Short shank jig hook
Bead: I like a heavier bead (4.5mm or larger) but smaller beads work too
Thread: A color that goes with your color scheme, or one that stands out to create a hot spot.
Tail: Silly Legs (or rubber legs of any kind)
Rib: Small or medium Ultra wire (color is your choice)
Body: Halo tinsel (any flat tinsel type material that will create flash)
Collar: Rabbit zonker strip spun in dubbing loop
Legs: Silly legs (or rubber legs of any kind)
