No not really all mate. the fish see dries from underneath so the silhouette remains similar. But by having the legs tied in at the sides it gives a slightly flatter profile to the fly , but I really dont think it makes the slightest difference. Its just the way I like to tie mine .
Any dry is unsinkable with a bit of foam tied in it . Add a foam post to this and you have the popper hopper which is deadly in a big wave . Was there a particular unsinkable dry you were thinking of ?
