Don them are neat are they made with mylar. I Like the way they are full great looking fly.

I just mentioned that because I think fly tiers should the this type of fly upside down in their vises, to have the bead eyes and colored on markings in the correct places.

Great looking flies. Definitely a killer in the water.

Thanks, Allen...........Coloring the tubing that's on the top with a black or dark blue sharpie would make it look a little more natural. ...............Don in SC

Thats right, Jeff.

The "Super" version is actually a toughened up variation of the original Cypret minnow. It started out as a bait for white bass, which are pretty tough on lures. Angler liked the original, but wanted something that would last through 20 fish, or something like that  Sthey pretty much glued the thing together as they tied it, and added the knotted nose.

So it catches fish AND holds together
