The Belly Scratcher was designed so you could create kind of a modular weighting system without adding much bulk to a small streamer pattern. This iteration of the bug has a better hook, a different body, but most of all, we ditched that nasty tear mender for a better adhesive option. Most of all, keep the dubbing on the head really sparse and it will keep a nice flat and vertical profile! The sky is the limit with color combos on this one.
