Abstract: Snag-resistant and attractive fishing flies are disclosed. The design employs a filamentary loop on the side opposite the hook point, with weights attached to the filament to form a weighted keel that keeps the fly hook-point up in use. The weights may be moveable beads strung along a springy nylon monofilament so that the fly can bounce off the bottom and the beads can click, sending out sonic signals. Very little weight is needed to keep the fly riding with the hook-point up, because the keel is offset from the hook shank, providing much more leverage than prior art. This bouncing, talking keel structure can be fine-tuned for best action and applied to many well known fly patterns. Variations include continuing the keel filament around the hook point to form a weed-guard, and composing some of a filament on the hook-point side from foam to lighten the fly and stabilize it hook-point up and snag-resistant.
