|
| EZ flies - that's what they are in the genuine all-American-marketing-way. Five classics with their patterns modified to be fairly easy and fast to tie - not least because of the simple body construction using the braided tubing EZ-Body from J.A.Enterprises in stead of the typical ribbed tinsel body. This material can also be substituted with the more commonly accsessible braided mylar tubing.
