Intruders have gone a long-ways. Nice work.

Cool beans! Does the wire come pre-looped or do you have to fasten it into a loop? Is the wire smooth enough so there are no worries about abrading your leader?

snake

These are a good idea

 

[failtospey]

Um yes!very cool!

Question, did the foul at all during casting or fishing?

 

[daijones]

Moethedog, Thank you for comment, the wire is plastic coated. Just cut wire to the size fly you want, and melt plastic with lighter flame. It will never pull apart.

Failtospey, no problem with wire catching back on leader, it is stiff enough to stop that. And used these for the last 4 / 5 seasons with out a problem and fish to 30lb,

These are really interesting. How is the wire held in the vise and worked on, given it's flexibility?

 

[moethedog]

I'm looking forward to the SBS! Thanks Dai!

i really like these! and i checked out your blog and saw the sbs for the salmon snake, very similar and easy to get how to do these bad boys. thanks!

 

[steelhead23]

awesome really

I love intruders and yours are among the coolest I've seen - and I love the innovative use of beading wire as the entire shank of the fly. My only issue with intruders is losing them to the bottom. Probably takes me as long to construct one good intruder as it would take Adrian to pump out a butcher. But boy, do they ever catch fish.

Dai, these flies are sick. Thanks for sharing them here.
