I received my flies, Thanks again for letting me join your swap Dan. Sorry I forgot to add tags to my flies, mine was the jitterbug looking fly. I explained to Dan about the fly and wanted to post so that others in the swap can utilize its functions. First the fly has an internal rattle, which helps make added noise in the water. The second feature is the convertible weed guard. By pulling on the brass beads at the hook eye you can suck the weed guard up and away from the hook when you are not fishing in the weeds. for fishing in weeds just pull on the mono at the belly of the fly and you have a weed guard again. I leave it weedless to keep the shape of the mono. If I'm in an area where i know i wont get snagged ill pull the weed guard out of the way of the hook. Enjoy and thanks for the flies, good luck on the water.
