Ever heard of using them in smaller sizes on trout?

I use them in warm water for Bass and especially Crappie. Never tried
it on trout, but I'm not much of a streamer guy.

I make mine differently. I use mylar tubing, which you probably have. I
tie on a tail of marabou, slide on the mylar tubing, tie it in at the
tail leaving a bit behind the tie in as a frayed skirt, then push the
rest of the tubing back toward the rear to make it flare out. Then tie
it in at the head. You can either then crimp it horizontal or vertical.
I often add either dumbell or bead chain eyes. You can coat it with
epoxy which is best but I'm usually lazy and just coat it with cement.

This picture is of the only one I could find done in a verticle
position. It was just lightly coated with regular cement:
