Bass fishermen sometimes refer to lumps of soft plastic molded independently of any hook as Grub Baits. Does that make this one a Nymph Bait? It was tied on a waxed (ultra-thin) beading needle. And then slid off the needle and attached to the hook--after it was made. I'll have to make another with a bead up front, with bead on the hook before the nymph is attached.

:like coming up with some interesting bugs with your technique.A lot of effort has gone into the extended or pre made body style.I think you have nailed it.Still playing around with the fabric cement and have a few prototypes for testing as soon as the ice is gone.

This morning's while coffee effort.
I wrap the front end of the shank tightly. Then mount the fly fairly loosely with three wraps at most. At that point it isn't really on the hook. Then I turn the fly upside down (in the vise) and add a small dab of ZapAGap. Then it's on there for the long haul.
