You can use a thread color to match the body or you can contrast as you see fit. I haven't noticed a difference in effectiveness. You could certainly weight this with a brass bead or tungsten bead behind the chennile and hold it in place with a thread dam.
I found it really helpful how you explined that the weight is at the back of the fly, and the action of the legs is as it drops. Do you know if there are any non-lead materials that could be used (instead of lead)?
The first 20 seconds sound like it's from a cheesey morning radio show. lol

Blues and bluegill fishing are two of the things I like best, who would have thought I'd find them both in the same place? :)

What color of thread do you use for the pink body and the black body?

Great video man. You don't have to take a second look at that fly to know that it'll catch fish.
