    Harry:

    These things behave like any other light weight jig. The head is made with more weight on the bottom side. The main difference is that the hook point rides in the down position.  They can be made to ride upright as well.  They are made by "The Flymen Fishing Company" and thay have a line of creative fly tying products.  Here is a link to Flymen

    You are right on, Fish Skull from "FlyMen"  They make great stuff.  I also have some made with the new clear "Mask."  Waiting for some liquid state waters to give them a try.

     

    Thanks,

    Thanks RayburnGuy, there are hundreds of variations of the "Mylar Minnow". These are made using a shaped holographic foil insert under the woven tube that allows shaping the body to different shapes. Looking forward to better weather to give this thing a proper water test.

    I'm interested to hear how the craft foam holds up. I've thought of using it to make fins and tails on some of my lures. Your lure is beautiful!

     

    LnkrHntr:

    As far as durability the craft foam holds up just fine.  Fly tiers have used craft foam for years in a wide variety of lures.  I have however quit using it on the crayfish lure due to entanglement with the hooks.  The new version has the claws represented by spinner bait skirts pushed out toward the outside.  I think it works as well, but lost some of the visual appeal.
