Smile Skullduggery Flies. What do you think of them?

I've tied a few creative flies over the last little while. They were for an auction over in Germany for a childrens wish foundation. They were looking at getting some flies from all over the world. I sent these, plus another 17 or so others. I've posted them on FB over the last few days so some may have already seen them there. But I think most may not have.

Tell me what you think. They were just for fun. A pike would take them. But pike will take anything. But I would hate to get hit in the back of the head with one. They are damn heavy and if they hit you they would do some serious damage.

These are my halloween inspired, Skullduggery collection.

No pumpkin heads

A new take on jewelry?

One thing I know is, these flies ticking a rocky bottom would be deadly for walleye and probably many other fish.

I'd like to try those heads on my double bunnies. Nothing says bad ass quite like a skull!

If I was a fish I'd be very afraid.

Default Skull flies

They remind me of a few 1980s rock bands for some reason?

Nice ! Back in the day the pike at Wabamun would have destroyed them. I'm sure you can find some pike that would take a liking to them
