Very cool idea JG & Mao. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I'd certainly like to try fishing a few myself. I can see many applications for them.
Cheers, Ken

They are sold on flymenfishingcompany.org for $6.65 and you get the following:

Small you get 10
Medium you get 8
Large you get 6

Included with each pack is a full set of 3D fish eyes.

I might have to try a few myself.

yeah, and they're weighted so you can opt to put them on so the hook rides point up as well.

Interesting concept but I agree they are expensive compared to traditional alternatives. . . .

They look very cool but I have not bought them because I'd need to many. There are some nice flys tied with them on this site: http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/index.php

Yeah, that seems a little pricey. But I didn't work two jobs for over a year to skimp when it comes to tying and I like trying out new stuff. I'm kind of wondering how they keep them from rotating too as it says you slip it on after you tie and just put a thread dam in front of it...

Here's a link (sorry, it's to another board) but the first fly looks pretty good using a fish skull.
