Would anyone know where I could find this style of a tube head? I had a few and tried this tie...I like the looks. The lead extends almost to the hook point, giving it a long slender minnow style body. The only ones I can seem to find are the short body tube heads. These are 3/16 oz with a #2 hook..

Not exactly the same, but I have a dart head mold that has a longer body than the regular mold. What do you think?

That style looks like a hilts tube - what hook size and wt. are you looking for? How manny?

I'd like a size 4 sickle in a 1/16 head. 25 would give me a start..

Might try flattening the head a little to have a flat spot for 3D eyes. I posted a tutorial on something similar with spun hackle tails.

Have you talked to grousefly about that style?
