Hey Fly Tiers...What's In The Vise?

[trapper2000]

that's nice ....I assume your suggesting it  because of personal experience with the product

How do you tie your SP ? It's a great foam pattern.

Trap...Yeah, I do use Rocket Bobbers a lot but not the pink one.  Thought I might try it as I have trouble seeing both yellow and orange in the bright sun.  When you suggested colors you could see I thought that might work.   Wasn't trying to be a smart ass but it may have come across that way. Sorry.
Pics coming soon Bob.

These were with the Wapsi Hard Foam bodies and mustad freshwater popper hooks.  Have to heat a bodkin or similar to make holes for the legs.  I used the size 10 hooks because they're lighter but then you don't have as much space between the bottom of the body and the hook point.  So, I filed them flat on the bottom to create a little more space.

The pink beetle-looking one is the same body on the front of the shank and a Wapsi brim body on the back.   The gills will probably take one look at it and head for cover!

Gills are like toddlers, have to taste everything

OK frustration has set in..how the heck do you dye craft fur...I've tryed lots a thinks not much effect there has to be way to dyr arcrylic..other than the taking markers apart not in to all that..would a sharpie marker work OK and stay on it...

[perchgypsy]

Sharpie will fade but work  ...I'd just buy it before I tried to dye it how much you need is the question...would have to be a lot to make it worth it I would think

[big_guy_13021]

I did buy some but they only have a few colors green pink white black I been to alot a stores...

[perchgypsy]

could try ritt dye found at store like walmarts in the laundry soap isle... boil some water add dye then add the craft fur it is a industrial dye for clothes so keep that in mind and don't get it all over every thing... 

[trapper2000]
