Squid flies

Yes, I had come up with that design a couple of months ago. The original design however was not intended for fly fishing, although after I finished it, I was REALLY thinking how they could really kick off into a different direction. There is quite a fly fishing community out there!!!! Generally the squid in our area run a bit deeper, so the fly fishing here would only work for some of the ones that run up on the surface from time-to-time. I'm sure you're familiar with Sabiki Jigs, the original concept was a Squid Fishing Sabiki Jig, see the photo below.



The design was to have the jigs in a horizontal position off of the main line, which would be typical of a baitfish. The jigs weigh very little, so would sink quite slowly. Probably typical weight to a saltwater streamer fly, so not very heavy, I do not imagine needing a very heavy rod. First photo fly is about 2", other one about 3".



In Australia from what I have been reading, most of the fishing is in shallow water, maybe 6' deep???? Picture using a floating flyline, with a 6' leader section, and slow sinking "squid-fly". The design would actually accept and hold any scents that you might want to add too.



I've only made a few of these as prototypes right now, but I've been kicking it around.
