Thanks for posting this Rick.
The changes he made are something Dan and I do a lot but they don't work "best" all the time.  Experiment and find what they want.
Another thing we do is cut the skirt down to 12 or so strands at times.  The smaller profile gives a whole different drop and presentation.
The jig he's working on looks very similar to one recommended by Ghostley for fishing the river.
