A fly for Off Shore

Fishing Adventures · 13-10-10

I have been working on a tube fly for off shore for YFT and Dorado.

This is what I came up with.

Any fly that work on or in the surface, must be larger sizes.

I also like Lefty's and Clousers for this job

Looks good. Nice colours for the bluewater too.
What did you use for the head?

What rig do you recomend for tube flies. I have experimented a bit with tube fly poppers. One website suggested using a snell knot on the hook, but this seems to pull to one side when coming tight with the tube.

Any suggestions?

It came from my expereince with big game trolling and fly fishing, in essence it is a tiny Kona with feathers instead of a skirt, light enough to cast with a 12wt.
