For one of my travel rods I made T-14 tips in 2, 5, 7 and 10' to adjust to different water conditions when only taking a floating line.

Great flies Ron!
I like to tie some with a wire rib for weight to get down just sub surface in the riffles.

If you do, I would add some Chartreuse Lumo Beads in the hollow body and charge them up with black light before you drop it.
