Hi Mark:

These look absolutely super. Have you or anyone else tried them and how do they fish?

Thanks Hugh, yes very effective around June/July on rivers, had alot of success with them as fish seemed to take them sometimes as soon as they hit the water.

Simple, but oh so effective . I tink I would also tie them in 16 and 18 for those days whe the grayling are smutting on small black things.
