A friend of mine told me that he liked looking for arrowheads. I liked this name and now I tyed a fly which I am going to call “arrowheads”. Hope you like them…

ooo man i like the look of those. what is the hard head made out of?
Pretty Cool!! :D:tieone:
Andres,
I really like your fly pattern! Did you paint the eyes? They look good, but I was wondering what you thought of using prismatic eyes? http://www.onflyfishing.com/search/images/3deyes.jpg
Thanks,
Doug
kinda looks like a surf candy from bob popovics
Hello,
DDRRedneck500, Fish Dave, DShock, Normand thank you!
Dshock, yes I painted those eyes. Prismatic eyes are a very good solution, but when I tied those flies I didn?t have any prismatic ones at home (and I could not stop tying LOL).
Normand, yes, Bob Popovic?s surf candy and mine are very similar. When you try to imitate a sand eel you have to get close to the living thing. We all use, more or less, the same materials and so our flies look similar, but I call mine “Arrowheads” because their heads. Popovic used Epoxy to do the head, I worked with plastic material to fabricate my heads. When I have the head, I just introduce the hook through it and finally tie the head to the hook. So easy that I am thinking about the possibility of commercializing them.

Andres,
Very nice fly! I was wondering about the hook size since its hard to tell from the photo. Also, what fish are you targeting with that fly? 8T
Thank you 8T,
the fish I am targeting are sea bass and sea trouts. the fly is 10 cm long.
Andres
I appreciate the response. 8T
