Question, what's the best way to secure these to the hook shank?
Question, does anyone have any dressing's they can share with pictures if possible.

What about a spot of bug bond
Not used them myself but I would imagine an over rib would help as well to secure them.

Yep, bought £10 worth from Joel today too.They look absolutely brilliant.
I take it's Kevlar thread taken over the tungsten body.
Siman uses power silk for the olive scud above.

I don't have the guts to try and cast these conventionally!
Think I'd have to hand out the pampers to whomever was sharing a boat with me too.
Strictly Czech Nymphing.

Woah! Imagine the bang if one of those clipped the rod tip on the forward cast!

Stuart, I'm waiting on these arriving, so if you decided to purchase and have a play. Show us your dressings.
These have probably been about for a while, but I've been out the loop, and there seems to be a lack of dressing styles to be found.Just looking for something with that X factor in the dressing.
