Good information, Jay. Thanks. But don't confuse "eustachian" (a tube in the ear that connects the middle ear cavity with the nasopharynx) and "escutcheon" (e.g., a plate that surrounds a keyhole). The pins you used are "escutcheon pins".
OOPS! My bad. Thank you for trying to educate me - a challenging proposition - And you have possibly helped clear up confusion shared by many; unless of course I'm the only fly tyer who bumbles this one. Top of the day to you Kevin. JN
Thanks for the help. Good analysis.

Good Luck on the water 🎏

Thanks Jay this helps a lot.
Tied up plenty on bendable pins. Flies last multiple trips out catching 20-30 fish each trip. Bass, panfish and trout.

I prefer a slotted tungsten bead on some 70lb braid doubled over similar to an intruder loop. Much more slender body profile. Also more durable.
But let’s be real. It’s just a glorified crappie jig
