I haven't mastered tying the WB yet. But today my fly fishing mentor and I found several packages of a dozen yellow WB's #10 in their bargain basement barrel in the fly shop, marked down to $4.99. Bought two packages, and my mentor bought one. 24 WB's for $9.98!!! Maybe a green marks-a-lot will make them "olive" color. Wish Bass Pro would mark down flies like Cabela's will, but alas they don't.<BR/><BR/>Now, which lure company is it that makes garlic scented felt tip markers???Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111604494705227127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-54376951995345267272008-07-16T13:46:00.000-05:002008-07-16T13:46:00.000-05:00Yo le aprecio mi amigo.Yo le aprecio mi amigo.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111604494705227127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-7775093486728956952008-07-15T12:38:00.000-05:002008-07-15T12:38:00.000-05:00Hi Rick,Here is a quote I got from an article I fo...Hi Rick,<BR/><BR/>Here is a quote I got from an article I found that probably explains the advantages of a conehead bead:<BR/><BR/><I><BR/>Coneheads are especially good for getting flies down to the bottom fast, seeing as the weight is more than traditional drilled beads. The specific cone head shape has an additional advantage, with its narrow front and wider rear the fly tends to become more weed-less bouncing off rocks and snags.<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>You also get a different profile for the fly with the conehead versus the regular beadhead.<BR/><BR/>Here is a link to the full article entitled <A HREF="http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&&mode=article&objectID=30007&cat=&subcatID=0&objectType=article" REL="nofollow">The Lowdown on Beadheads</A>texasflyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807956251544952743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27702775.post-24155813938615008002008-07-15T11:50:00.000-05:002008-07-15T11:50:00.000-05:00Why coneheads??
