shadyvito 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 I found these "bubble cones" on Orvis' website and I figured that they look cool and they are cheap, so I bought some. I'm looking for some ideas on what I can tie with these things. The sizes I got are a 1/2" and 5/8" (pretty big). I'm looking to tie some salt water and lrg. mouth bass flies so any ideas will be awesome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisbarnett 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 I dont really see the point of the bubble part...besides looking cool You could tie some huge buggers on like size 2 or 1/0 hooks. Basically any bass fly or saltwater fly that uses a bead head or weight you could add one of those in front. Also to try them, just slip one on the tippet before tying on any fly you want to use with the cones and then tie on the fly. You have an instant conehead. Be creative. Good luck!

shadyvito 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Thanks for the input. My buddies gave me simular suggestions. One even suggested that I put one of the cones between two beads on the leader above the fly so not only it makes some bubbles but it will also make a little noise.
