marabou leech

had alot of luck on a black wooley bugger last time at the river. figured it represented a leech. well I made this today after seeing a marabou leech on fly anglers onlines fly tying recipe section.. I used a size 6 streamer hook. instead of using crazy colors like the pics on the webpage I just used black marabou and added flash. I also didn't add any soft hackle to the front next one I tie I will put some.. I wanted this to resemble a leech pattern so I used the all black.. hopefully it will take a bass or something! what ya guys think? I should add a bead head or bead eyes to it next time for weight. any tips? the marabou was crazy to work with kinda.. I also clipped underneath the fly to expose the hook some as it was completely covered. hope it works. I need my new matarelli style whip for the bead head tho. its on the way. well heres the pic.
