That's what they're for..... I have a Green Ghost sitting in front of me now and a Kennebago Smelt. One of my Grey Ghosts tandems actually has pink florescent beads on the tandem wire. Interesting. . . I thought of tying up a couple this way to see what it would do. This particular one came from Maine. I have a hard time fishing with flies other people tied. I could easily throw my own out there.
