Coneheads seems to pull the fly down which I'm not looking for, instead I use different sized eyes on my tube flies which gives the fly a slightly more wobbly motion through the water as you retrieve it....Not much but just enough to affect the dynamics of the fly slightly.All about the grabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387305681857023008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816237972526255871.post-68994387029176565432010-02-16T15:08:18.505+02:002010-02-16T15:08:18.505+02:00Very nice Simon!

I could see this pattern being used for Pike and Perch as well as Bass Pollock etc. The flashy lateral line looks cool without going over the top.<br /><br />I assume you have added the eyes right at the front to allow for better movement? I suppose you could add a small conehead if you wanted to and set the eyes further back?<br /><br />Cheers...RichRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770132494819772173noreply@blogger.com
