From: des mc donnell · mcdonnell25a·at·eircom.net Submitted May 1st 2008 where do i get the clear MAGIC HEAD. DES. From: Kasper Mühlbach Submitted April 13th 2007 John T, the size I used for this fly is "Round, R12 for sizes 12-6". It makes the fly wiggle when retrieved, but I am not sure whether the fish really care. Kasper From: JohnT · johnrtaylor·at·ntlworld.com Submitted April 13th 2007 Hi, What size Magic Head is that and does it make the fly wiggle when retrieved? Thanks JohnT From: Butch Sherrill · gaither.sherrill·at·us.army.mil Submitted April 5th 2007 Paul, You are right about Connecticut and Rhode Island, I come from Connecticut myself and have made a fly similar to this one and if you send me your email address I will send the pattern to you. Okay :-) From: Kasper Mühlbach Submitted March 28th 2007 Paul, have you tried it? Kasper From: Paul Rankine · P.Rankine·at·BTInternet.com Submitted March 24th 2007 Just the thing for the CT and Rhode Island worm hatches for striped bass. From: Michael Smith · rybolov·at·ryzhe.ath.cx Submitted March 24th 2007 Nice. I bet the bassies would like it in various colors.
