I've used my nylon leeches to catch a bunch of bass. Some of the largest, most ugly flies I've ever tied have been nylon leeches. I even dedicated a web page to it.
I developed them based on advice I got here for fall bass from Byard, Tony S. and others. I fish them deep and slow or let them slowly undulate by stumps, abandoned beaver lodges etc.

Have been asked to tie an "assortment" of leech patterns and in assorted colors for a friend at work ..she's giving them as a surprise to her flyfishing husband. As I generally only tie black leeches and only with Estaz, I'm open to suggestions as to what should be in this leech flybox..colors, patterns that are especially helpful, sizes of hooks. Thanks for your help. Joyce
