jared 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 Some excellent suggestions to be sure...do note however, that there are some parts of the world where use of lead in flies has been banned, so make sure of the regs before you start dunking some of these deep-diving-bad-boys! -J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 If you use lamp cord or any insulated stranded wire for weighting, ribbing, etc., cut it into 10" or so lenghts, then strip the insulation from all but an inch or so. That keeps all the strands together and you can pluck them out one at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see it now burglers going from fly tying bench to fly tying bench, only 500 more spools and we might get a pound :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Esox 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2006 I like to tie & glue on those brass stick rattles designed to slip into a plastic worms. Adds both weight and sound. You can orient them across the hook and them glue on eyes over the ends, or attach them lenghtwise to the hook shank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
