Chris I was going to try slipping them on my leader and pulling them over the eye of the hook after I have the fly tied on. That way I can switch them to other flies instead of tying them to the fly. Sort of like the idea of a tube fly slipping back on a hook. If you break your fly off you would've lost the head cup anyway. I can also remove the head cup if I don't want to use it with that fly.

But no streamer works as good as a spoon anyways. I have used them on an articulated damselfly nymph and they work okay. I have yet to use them on a wooly bugger variant but I know it will add a little more movement. I am still not sure if they are worth the expense... Out of a few packages that I have left, I have only used a small amount - hoping to hear from others - how to optimize the use (and not waste my supply...) Also, still have not been able to work the flex-o stuff into anything remotely fishable... Thanks, Chris
