Great Looking Fly Nick. Nice and simple. I'm curious about the White Lateral Line. Does it Anchor the Tail?? Jack

Hi Jax, the line is part of the ezi body, probably holds the braid together I think. The the is anchored with about 10 tight wraps of thread and a good dose of super glue.

Nick it's a good looker for sure... substitute that tail for Marabou and it'll work even better.... more movement more trigger... IMHO...
