Being new to LF, please forgive me if this is stupid, or I am stating the obvious!

When tying flies, often it is a good idea to add a fluorescent colour as a target point. Say green, or orange or red. This would be straightforward to do on hard lures, ie by tying/whipping the fluorescent material around the trebles. Probably it would be most suitable on white (ish) lures, or those with a white underside.

It probably would be a waste of time...most of my innovations are. I am sure that people have tried this.......is it a waste of time?

no, we use special pens designed for use on SP's, hard baits etc to give the lures little hot spots.

Chris,
We had great success at the welsh Bumble with a single hook teaser tied like a fly. So yes they work very well. Andy elliott is on the Forum and will tie singles or trebles for you if you want. I have quite a few from him and they are brilliant. Shame I forgot to take them to Wales with me. Here's his thread if you are interested.
