Very nice! |\

What's the connection? can't quite see. Looks like braid in a couple of them, or is it all nylon?

TT.

Thanks Steff
No they are all tied on Aberdeen sea hook shanks.
a chap i know told me how to do them.

a pair of pliers and tweak the eye to form a down eye.
tie a bump with tying thread on the but of the shank,this is so the silicone
tube has a nice tight fit.
you then dress the fly,the tippet material then goes through the eye,
under the body,through the silicone,onto the hook,then push the silicone over butt tag.
hope that makes sense{;

i think its based on John Grays needle fly?
thanks again

I love them all but if you absolutely forced me into picking out 3 it would be the really skinny ones in the front right of the picture.

hope that makes sense{;
