The USA seems to like the cylinder foam, but the English used little foam balls in a mesh.
They are killer flies, been using them for a few years, but like any other fly, we tend to tweak them to suit our needs. We found buy continuing the foam down the back they float better.

These are great on a sinking line, cause they will start to float up with the leader and when you strip, they dive. Gartside has the Gurgler that is the same principle and the Tadpole I tie is along that theory.
