[cool]I have several colors of green to orange body materials, that I get in the hobby shops. It is called "craft cord" and I use it in a high percentage of all my jigs, bait bugs and flies these days. I'll whip up a few for your field testing. I need to get some more small brass propeller blades first.
By the way, do you throw spinning gear in the surf? If so, I make a lot of different little jigs and "Roadrunner" spinner jigs that are killers...with or without a bit of plastic or bait on them. I have several "crawdad" colors that work both in fresh water and salt. I'll put up a pic of those for you to look at too.
I have a whole line of short-tailed jigs, mostly made from durable synthetics, designed to be fished with a piece of worm or fish flesh. I call them "bait bugs". If you like, I can send you a writeup on those, with instructions for tying them.
