What's your opinion on eggs??

Just out of curiousity...I'm wondering what everyone thinks about eggs on the back of spinners? I have found from my own experiences that just a wee bit of yellow dubbing or something brite on the tail of spinners produces better over the standard tie. This tiny little detail may sound crazy, but I feel like it makes a big difference and it only take a few extra seconds to tie it in. My camera is down right now...sorry no picture.

 

Also another minute detail is a very small bushy tail on an elk wing caddis to suggest a shuck. For this I use yellow lite brite and I do not use hackle on my caddis.

 

Just wondering how many of you guys do this as well or believe that it make a difference.

I like them with bacon and toast.

 

 

 

 

 

I like using them on caddises, and mayflies for shucks, or eggs on spinners.

Good Day,

 

Certainly worth the few extra seconds...

Thanks for the responses. Just fulfilling my curiousity. I've seen ties that are actually an egg pattern. A parachute with about a half inch of mono tied off the bottom of the hook with a little yellow dubbing on it. I can't find any photos right now.

Ill occasionally add shucks to my caddis
