oatka 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2012 I haven't used them. However, I bent a paperclip once....and never used that either. It's a great looking way to make extended bodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtrout58 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 A friend brought some J:Sons stuff on a camping/tying/fishing trip. I tied one sorry fly using his toys(see above). The trout hit the fly often, but I never hooked up, so I switch to the tried and true Sparkle Dun. I think a different hook than what I used would have made the fly work for me. I forgot about that fly. I might have to get some of those pins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 i dont tie extended bodied flies to justify the cost. tying an extended body on a needle will roughly achieve the same result Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fly in my avatar is on a size 26 hook and the body was tied on a needle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelCityFlies 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 I own these products and use them often. I like them much better than a needle because you get a nice natural curve with these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
