flytire 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Is that a reversed bead at the head? Is it concave or just the photo? Wondered if it alters the action of the fly?? yes a reversed micro cone head bead it shouldn't affect the action but i haven't fished it yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Thanks flytire, was thinking it will move the water differently from a head with a tapered angle at the front. Do you know what the reason for tying it in that way round originally was? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2016 Do you know what the reason for tying it in that way round originally was?I saw a fly tied that way on Instagram and thought it was a good idea. That's all However beads don't always have to be installed on the hook with the small hole towards the eye. Experiment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
