I have a question about weighting wet flies. Most of the time this is done by wrapping lead wire around the hook -- which makes the vertical axis perfectly balanced.
Has anyone added a strip of wire to only one side of the hook to create an unbalanced fly? This would add a twisting action when the fly is retrieved. The further the wire is from the hook, the more dramatic the effect would be. For example, when creating a wooly bugger, a small lead wire could be tied to the shank between the marabou & chenile wraps.
What do you think?
