Karl, that one is in Kelvin's gallery so he is the likely fly tier. If not it looks a lot like a Kerfwappie epoxy head. Both do magical things with baitfish patterns and I'm glad to have a few flies from each of these guys in my saltwater box. Both are also super fishy guys that are as nice as any other you'll have the opportunity to meet. I bet if you send them a PM they'll share what they do.
new to tying
I've been a member of the Forum for a bit over a year. I started fishing the beaches and the folks on the Forum have given me great suggestions on how to find good fishing (never where and I don't ask). I started tying flies a couple of months ago and am amazed that I've actually caught fish on some of my creations. I have constructed versions of Chum Babies and Roger Stephens top water sand lance. I'm now trying to tie flat wing (?) pattern that I found in a photograph on the forum. I can't figure out who the original artist is so I can't give them due credit.

Here is my problem: I'm using RIO UV Knot Sealer to try to build heads on the flat wing pattern. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to build the material evenly on the hook. I'm also struggling with getting eyes (I'm using Spirit River molded eyes) to stay in place.
Thanks
Karl

Andy, these are cool. Which have you used and how do they cast with the diving/wiggle lipps versus a standard fly. I have used some cones, shaped beads, sequins and even washers out front to make for a lot of weird action.
