3 downsized variations of a fly

Those look like variations of the Tullis Wiggler I posted a while back.

A few thoughts:

I’m not sure that foam is thick enough to give the lip enough rigidity to get the wobble, but I can’t tell what size these flies are. I’ll be interested to see what you find out.
The 2nd version looks like it has the best angle of the foam to get the desired results.
Cutting the angle of the lip of the foam has produced good results for me…but I’m not sure that’d work on thin foam like this.

On a size 10 aberdeen hook with 2mm foam. These with a ot of other flies did not work last week.
They did get some wobble.

This is a better photo for showing the angle I used on the larger Tullis Wobbler’s I tied.

…one thing I’ve changed: I am making the angled cut on the the outside, from the hole where the hook eye comes through, to the tip of the foa.
