		[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I used a tungsten bead on a straight pin, cut to little short of hook length.  I fished it with a sinking line.  It worked fantastic.  Watch it in the water and it floated more natural (straight).  I only ties Pheasant Tails, but will tie several more patterns like this.  I do think the sof hackle collar helps.[/size][/black][/font]
