Offshore, With flatwings you can get as deep a profile as you want, both hieght wise and most importantly when viewed from below. You must use the right texture bucktail and go with either a bump in the body braid, wich is the way I do it , or reverse tie the hair. The more you flair it the wider it will be. If you flair the hair 90 deg from the shank and run it under hot water when your done you might be amazed how wide the fly gets and it puffs out even more in the water.
