The other night I read about tying fine rubber legs to standard nymph
patterns,(like Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear, Fox Squirrel, etc). It would
be easy to add legs to some of my nymph patterns, but do they really
fish any better than the standard nymph patterns?

Since I'm asking the above question, I might as well ask about adding
a bead head to these patterns too. Does the bead make them any more
effective?

Thanks in advance for your advice.


p.s.

I was half-scared to post again after the "boiled giblet gravy leader
war" that erupted the last time I posted here :-)

Surely this is an easier question to answer...

I vote yes. Don't know the exact pattern but I have some nymphs with
rubber legs( with and without bead heads) that seem to work ( better
in lakes it seems). Some have white legs some black. It may be that
I fish them more and more attentively that makes them work better, but
they work
