Nicely done. Very sleek profile. Good choice of hook style.

Nice flies. I like the idea of the glass bead thorax, but wonder about how durable they are? Have you fished with them much? Is there any issue with breakage of the bead when using forceps to remove the hook from a fish?

i haven't fished them too much but from what i have i like them. in my mind they would be good for swinging in a bit faster water because of the little extra weight. i used a craft type bead that were used for like sequence kinda figure skating outfits(not for me, don't worry) and they look quite durable. ill let you know about the breakage
