Gettin' Jiggy

If you fish super snaggy waters like me, you probably lose a load of flies like me.  Well I'm always torn between the use of dumbells and guaranteed hook up posture and the streamlined profile of a bead with the risk of hook points.
The other day I tied a few patterns on jigs to give them a try.  Admittedly one does have dumbell eyes but these are initial patterns to be tested and refined, But I'm pretty sure they'll get eaten.
