Location: North Metro, MN		The "Silent But Deadly"... biggest ones I've made so far. Built on solid wire and weighted throughout to be balanced and have a horizontal fall like a fly but heavy enough to cast on the big stuff. One 2/0 treble in the back and a single 3/0 octopus hook on a snap near the head that can be easily adjusted or removed. 9" long to the treble & about 13 or 14" long total.

The jig is some clatterino type. Built a wire harness to attach line to jig and eliminate the weak point of just blade attached to jig and line.

Location: Kodiak, AK		Looks like you banged out some nice ones. As for the fall, you might try to weight them forward so they fall head-first. It gives the fly more life as it bends and twists on the downfall, rather than a flat sink. At least my preference is for the head-first fall, the joy of tying is building your own action to suit your tastes.

Good job. They look great.
