  The clone worm is a variation on the furled ragworm pattern that I've developed to offer a more realistic shape, buoyancy and mouthfeel. I incorporated silicon into the dressing to set the profile more in line with the true shape of a polychaete worm, it also is just buoyant enough to make the fly neutral or near neutral in water while also adding durability and making the fly non-fouling.
