Rob G Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Rich, can you or anyone out there that has used these balanced flies tell me, what is the action of the fly when you're tying into the hook eye above and midway on the shank (as with these flies) and you're actively retrieving with a quick jerk and pause ? Does the fly dart around randomly since you're not tied to the direct front of the fly ? I'm sure I'll be tying some up to see for myself but maybe someone can give me preview. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich mc Posted February 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 probably best to describe it as soft movement. it is mostly a dead stick approach as it hangs under the indicator. the profile attracts and slight movement of the soft fibers seals the deal. just watched a video on the filobugger by phil rowley . if i was to use this on an active jerk and pause retrieve i think i would use longer material.it would have erratic movement as it sinks, like an ice jigging rapala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Rich, what if you had no indicator, and gave it that jerk and pause retrieve? I'm thinking you might not get as much porpoising action,but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
