Thanks, these are all synthetic and yes I did tie in a small bead head and then slid the mask over. I'm still all over the map in tying and trying different stuff.
how do those move in the water?
Ha! No idea! Just been having some fun tying again. Will start fishing them in a couple weeks. Do you have any fish around you wanna pitch them to?
Messing around with some floating amphipod and euphausiid patterns.
I ran out of heavy mono for making eyes so I used a maker on the foam to create them.
