Doug
Swisher is the original creator of the Madam X but there have been a lot of
variations from his bullet head style.  This version is my favorite and has
produced some large browns in coldwater and some very nice bluegill and bass in
warm water lakes.  I also like the Royal and Yellow Madam X and they
are pictured below.  The Royal is the same as the Red except for the
peacock herl on the rear of the body.



 



The
Madam X doesn't represent any particular fish prey but triggers the fish's
feeding response.  It can represent hoppers and other terrestrials,
stoneflies, and dragon flies.
