[#0000FF]You can buy commercially made "fliglets" from several suppliers. The above link is to the Cabelas listing for one model.
I can make them in any size and color down to a size 4 hook and a pencil eraser sized head. And they do work for trout and other species. I also make a bunch with size 2 hooks that catch trout, perch, crappies, white bass...and walleyes, smallmouths and catfish. Late last fall we were doing better with small fligs than larger ones.
The key is always balance the size of the flig with the type and size of the bait you will be using...and to rig the sinker with the right weight and right length of leader for how you will be fishing them. You can fish them from shore...still or with a bit of motion (slow reeling). But most of us do best by slowing dragging them behind a boat or float tube.
I am attaching a pic of some of the small fligs I like to use.
