Tying help wanted. Cone head fly with deer head behind.

Love it! Do you use tungsten cones or brass? -
Ditto..what they said... I have a question: Have you fished these on a fly rod? Weight? Were they trouble to cast? They look like they might twist the leader unless you use a heavy leader.

I found that using wire sized a bit larger helps a lot. Barr's book recommends medium Ultra Wire for a size 12, Brassie for 14-16, and Small for 18-22. These sizes made things a lot easier for me.
