    thanks for the reply, i figured as much, but you guys are knowledgeable where i am not...

    i am going to have to call him on this one, but what would you suggest, or rather, prefer...

    he asked me to use tangerine McFly Foam Egg Yarn for the bodies, my though was to tie it in loose to get the effect of dubbing the body for volume, ie. white buck tail flat on the top of the shank, egg yarn below the shank, some flash, green buck tail to finish, all tied before the barbell, the green buck tail should act as a pseudo weed guard not? (i would be using super hair if i had it, the look seems superior)

    or, just wrap the body tight along the shank to create more of a strike indicator...

    i pulled this pic off the inter webs as an example... they use hairline diamond braid, but imagine the shank in tangerine...

    i honestly cant see using the egg yarn to be visually pleasing, he requested the flies to be natural in color... so... neutral colors with neon...

    thanks again for the post.

    if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"
