Default sally's sacrificial grayling bugs

ok there not sally's... there mine but ol' sall gave em' more than the once over if ye get me

basically these guys are to get down and stay down in fast, deep water. I've given them several coats of hard as nails, as well as an under-wrapping of thick lead wire. To make em sink faster, I've just bunged a 4mm tungy bead at the front. Dressed on size 8 knapek czech nymph hooks.

They will hopefully partially imitate free swimming caddis larvae.
