NEW!

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Well, if we are going to talk STREAMERS, I got to add these. Orvis just came out with Anodized Aluminum cones. I bought each color in Medium. I like this idea, cause I don't like to weight my flies and allow the line to get me to whatever depth.

[center][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3][cool]Those are real neat. Now what size hook would these be suited for? By the way that was the purpose of my post.[/size][/green][/font][/center]

I am using these on #4 streamer hooks by Orvis, But I think you could use them on smaller hooks if the gap of the hook is big enough.[/size][/black][/font]

Having been as pure a nymph fisherman as most ppl are dry fliers, I prefer sinking line, whether it be sinking tip in fast, medium, or slow, or wet belly line, as opposed to weighting the hook or tippet. I consistently caught more fish on non-weighted nymphs because of better action.

But they are kinda neat! []

[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]I have two spools for each reel. One loaded with a floating line the other with sinking. Most of the time I'm using the floater. Will have to consider your option.[/size][/green][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]And that is the beauty of these...they are aluminum! But you get the FLASH, or the Bling, Bling![/size][/font][]

Now you can make me a couple of each and I will test them out.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I kinda figured that[] Been tying a Beldar, but it is much harder then it looks. First is the tail/flash, then chenille 1/4 of hook, then white/black and whatever other color Guinea, a little more chenille, rubber legs, little more chenille, more hackle, more chenille, rubber legs, chenille, then hackle at cone. (wrapping the two feathers is tricky)
Here is Red:

Poky-mon,
Off topic, but is that your dog (avatar)? If so, I would give him whatever he wants...and quickly! []
