What are these?

I was given a number of these things. I call them lures. But, they are so light they are for fly casting.

Some of them are marked with “B-17”

Anyone know what they are used for?

They are cool! Are they heavy and hard to cast?
I would call them lures, but basically all flies are lures;)
Traditional…Naaaa

Reminds me of Jim Hatch’s “Jelly Bean” flies…

Larry -

While you are at the Expo here in IF in April, take some time to find and talk to Gerry “Randy” Randolph. He’ll probably be demoing some of his balsa wood flies.

Larry,
That B-17 Lure site is interesting!

Nice flies.

What I found most impressive was the consistency of their finishing process. Pretty inovative, too. Don’t see a lot of 8/0 flies out there.

I started going through the ‘products’, but the way the site is set up, there is a lot to ‘go through’…130+ pages. It will take me several visits to see them all.
