[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]DR, I use the chain eyes also, but usually I make my own with a heavy mono and two small beads from a craft store. You can get some real neat colors. I have some gunmetal beads that work great on some of the nymphs I tie. Green on damsel nymph and try red beads for kicks.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I don't use the lead eyes very often except maybe on the bend of my crayfish pattern. I personlly don't care for weighted flies, but I do have all different weights of lines. Let my lines do the work and adjust my leader length to put the fly in the zone.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I shouldn't say I never use weighted flies cause I will use the lead wrapped flies like Rickards and B.S. with an intermediate, that works great.[/size][/black][/font]
