Interesting Egg Patterns

Anybody have a pattern for anything other than the norm.....A friend gave me a flybox and I am filling it with egg patterns....bored of the usually....need something with a kick to it.....
 
Any thoughts....

May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.

    Make something up... use your imagination.

    Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    I guess my question would be what current egg patterns are you using, what size.Tell me what you tie and if I know others I would be glad to share

    Here's one for you. I've called it Herr's Jester and use it quite often. Kind of a mix between the egg and maggots. Works great!

    Carpet fly or a multi colored Globug using small strands of 4 to 8 different colors. The original carpet fly used antron rug yarn. I once tied up some combining orange, pink, brown, white, blue, red, and chartreuse lazer yarn. It worked well and the lazer yarn seemed to give the egg a subtle pulsation.
     
    My most productive Blood Dot... a ripped 1/6th to 1/8th diameter piece of Egg (very pale orange) Globug Yarn tied sucker spawn style with the Micro apricot bug yarn for the center dot. I use 14-18 caddis hooks.
     
    Sucker spawn but tie a piece of estaz off the bend first. Then do your yarn loops. Then bring the estaz up and over to the front and split the yarn. Tie off the the head and clip the remaining estaz. You can also incorporate estaz in your globugs to add flash.  
     
    I guess you're only limited by your imagination.

    I was given a couple of these in pink and orange to try here in NY. They worked well and take about 1 minute to tie.
