Fabulous patterns and no doubt they well get down. In fact, it might be a bit a job getting them up again

Not a hint of subtlety, just Heavy Metal all over - no nonsense, just business. I like that in nymphs

Just a question though: doesn't the pink anodising get beaten off in freestone streams? Mine does, so I am wondering if it is a bad supplier or a general problem

Cheers!

look great, I have never used bidoz bodies as I found them a bit expensive, but might buy a pack to try. How heavy are they, and are they a b****r to cast?

You don't cast them John, you sort of swing them out.
Very nice Dave, they look REALLY heavy.

So im guessing they perform best if fishing a short line or czech nymphing, cheers for that, will try some and see how it goes.

Better fished on a short line.

Jindra - I haven't found that they chip and have been using them for a while.

I plan to get them on the River Fly Box soon. The dressing is very simple:

Hook: Partridge YK4G
Thread: Moser Powersilk 10/0, olive
Legs: Grey squirrel
Ballast: Tungsten shrimp backs.
