From: des mc donnell · mcdonnell25a·at·eircom.net Submitted May 1st 2008 where do i get the clear MAGIC HEAD. DES. From: Kasper Mühlbach Submitted April 13th 2007 John T, the size I used for this fly is "Round, R12 for sizes 12-6". It makes the fly wiggle when retrieved, but I am not sure whether the fish really care.
