Silly Mac. Those aren't eyes. Those are lungs! lol
They are the same type of Casting Bubbles that we use for the Bubble Fly rig. I actually have some of those bubbles that are about 3" in diameter. I use those with some of the shrimp flys for catching Bonito in the salty.[cool]

Post: ...sis.. I went to that link and now I understand about the eyes.. how do you do that.. I mean divide the foam to form the eyes???
Ill have to remember about the sinking line with leader.. sounds like something the fishes would love to "see"..
MacFly
With the cylinder foam, cut a chunk (maybe an inch) or just hold the foam rope by the eye of the hook leaving enough room to whip finish. Then do figure 8's with the thread to secure and divide.
A true Boobie is tied on shorter hooks and have very long tails. A lot of movement while it floats up and down like a Gartside softhackle.[b]

[/center] [center][font "Pristina"][green][size 4]The eyes are made from foam tubes of which I don't have any. The tail is marabou and the body polar chenille.[/size][/green][/font][/center]
]... and I am thinking some foam.. foam ball.. or maybe a yarn indicator ball of some sort.. not 100 % sure what it is called but have seen material like that at bass pro and sport chalet.. 
with the Booby Fly. I thought it would have fallen along the lines of the Dolly Fly made by TubeDude.[cool]
