johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2024 Bruce - beautiful work as always. Reminds me of some of the Mike George or that guy from Italy (Fabrizio ??) sculptures. question if you got a second. The first picture shows the fly in the vise secured by the very end of the shank with the hair stacked all the way to the rear. The third picture is a great shot of the hook connected to the shank. How did you attach the hook once the bug was complete? I’m thinking the 4th photo is a belly weight? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
