no, it's just a my fantasy creation

any suggestion?

Ask the fish.

Great!

In all seriousness

infact, I was serious too, only results can tell the best and decisive
answer if it works or not

The fact that your creation nosedives
shouldn't cause you any concern unless you're looking for a
particular action for a specific situation. Many very effective
flies are designed to do exactly what yours does.....an up and down
darting movement is characteristic of lots of bait fish and other
piscine delicacies. Give yours a try in an actual fishing
situation.....it might surprise you.
Good luck.

thanks a lot.
I would know how a dead big fly would sink and I think it's a huge
argument about sinking flies (instead of floating ones), am I right?
fly fishing it's the only fishing I didn't tried and I think I'll
appasionate very badly, I'm ordering a float tube (Creek ODC 420) and
when I'll have enough money I'll buy a fly rod.
they're so expensive! 600$! I saw a 69$ fly rod and tried to find
differences with the good one and it's too soft, do you think I should
start from that or I have to wait when I can afford a good one?

As I mentioned in another group, I am not a fly fisherman. I do own a few
fly rods. (cheap ones) They work. I am sure that a dedicated fly angler
can give you reasons why a very expensive fly rod is ideal for different
circumstances. I can tell you exactly why I like certain spinning or
casting rods for particular applications. I can also catch fish on a snoopy
rod.

I think if you become a dedicated hard corps fly angler you to will desire
to own some very high end equipment, but... all that being said, you will
find that there is some very fishable mid price stuff out there. I think
you might be better served by determining what fish you are likely to catch
in the area you wish to fly fish and what rod power, length, and action
would best suit those applications. Then you can look for a rod you can
afford that fits that application.

It might sound like I am saying a cheap rod is as good as an expensive one.
I am absolutely not saying that. I am saying that if you know or take the
time to learn what characteristics you need in a rod for your application
you may be able to find one that will do the job adequately for a reasonable
middle of the road price.

In bass fishing (spinning and casting) I can tell you that G.Loomis is
arguably one of the best manufacturers of rods, but I can also tell you that
for a fraction of the price I own a number of Lamiglass and St Croix
(premier line) rods that do a very very good job for what I use them for.

I have one fly rod that cost about $40 dollars that does a fantastic job for
small stream trout in the 8-12" range. Would I use it for hunting trophy
steelhead or Salmon. Not a chance. It isn't suitable for the job. Would a
more expensive rod do a better job. Probably for a better fly angler, but I
doubt I would catch one more fish with it myself. I just don't have those
skills. Would it benefit me if I fly fished primarily and my hands had the
experience to tell the difference. Probably.

So (Egad, I hate doing this, LOL) in conclusion. Go buy a moderate priced
fly rod suitable in weight, length and action for your application and go
fishing with it. If you really like fly fishing you will eventually want to
upgrade to something better. If not then you will still have had the
experience to relive and enjoy.
