The only difference I can see is the expensive ones look like they're tied on jig heads. Not sure that's worth pay 2 or 3 times the cost of a regular bead head fly pattern.

"I have definitely heard that my flies are pricey and that isnt wrong. I'm using quality tungsten, hooks and lead free wire in almost every fly and gluing materials between steps. My flies dont bust apart. Period. Sorry to say but if you're looking for cheap, this isnt the shop for you."
His prices are inline with what you would pay at Fish Tales or O.F.F. for similar flies. I don't see how one could make such a fly for a $1. Tungsten bead-heads, top-quality hooks, and non-tox heavy alloy tying wire is all quite expensive.
