Don't know Steve, it might be OK for an olive though. A couple of strands of crystal hair or similar in the tail might be interesting. I use 5mm booby tube on mine as it's more robust than the poly balls.

No worries mate. I prefer the booby cord. As I said above it's more robust than the poly balls an less troublesome than cdc re drying after a fish. I'll often fish two sugar cube suspenders with a light wire straight buzzer in between sort of semi washing line style. Just watch for the flash or you'll see the top fly twitch if you get a take on the middle.
They're not the last word in surface buzzers though. A Klink has out fished them occasionally. I must say that Roy's fore and aft cdc looks promising although I'd probably try it with foam.
