silly me ,forgot to attach dee photo

Interesting. I've started using an egg pattern at Five Dot during the first month of it being open when the trout are cruising the rocky edge. I don't have a picture to post, but I can give a fair description of how I've created mine...pretty goofy I guess, but I shopped at Wal Mart and Michael's and found some plastic pink beaded necklaces, removed the beads and attached the hooks by heating the hooks to red hot, then pressing them against the bead. They set quickly and the hook gap isn't narrowed by the bead because the hook is turned outward, not inward toward the bead...quite effective.

hey ftir
you can also run the line (tippit)thru the egg several times to lock it in and then on the remaining material ,add like a sm nymph below the egg on the tag ,it works quite effectivly on the lower Y im sure it would work just about any place ,
just me 2 centavos

FTIR,

Doesn't heating the hook to red hot take all the temper out of the metal? I'd be afraid that if I got a big fish, it'd bend the hook....

Is that where you touch the hot melt glue with your finger and release some of your burnt skin while attempting detachment?

No, if you look at that photo closely, you will note that the little hangy down thingy (that's technical talk) covers the hook point. You couldn't hook a fish with that egg with a arbalast to set the hook.
