this could be a interesting fly.

We were using open eyes shank hooks in the below pictures you will see a size 8 and a size 6 is something that we are considering carrying on our site of course there will be many different color variations we just wanted to see what you guys would think of something like this of course you would say she's similar to a shrimp fly like a sinker on the bottom and you would run the softer the side up on the line and you would do the same thing as you were doing with jigs you would be jigging these also I think it should be very interesting if you would run about four or five or six of these online like a school of minnows your input is very important.

I forgot to mention that we will probably have these also in the following sizes 1/0 2/0 forgot to also mention that these are , gamakatsu hooks.

Snake I think they will work just fine

they look great sir

Nice looking ties. You can use those as regular flies for a fly rod.

Bob both of those look great, I really like the looks of the second fly and it would be easy to make a line of different colors flies. Good luck with them.

thanks guys I think they would work terrific if you were to run them six or seven at a time is a school of minnows I probably don't have the right patterns made up to look like but we could definitely make something that looks like a minnow I believe they might work terrific on skips the spreader that he posted.
