Booby Eyes

[gazza1]

hi all
Does any one know if you can buy preformed booby eyes.
Tried and Tried to do my own with booby cord, but no matter how hard I try I just cant get the right profile.
I bought some Veniard FLOOZEYES, but at £3.20 per half dozen just not cost effective.

Cheers Gaz

Veniards floozeyes also tend to sink slowly depending on the pattern of fly tied, look great but defeat the object, they will still catch fish though.

Captainscarlett on here is well into boobies and may be able to help you either making some for you or explaining how to make your own, he did a sbs somewhere which I found very helpfull.
