What to do with this material?

Recommended Posts

I have an idea for the forum. IF someone has a material, but they dont know what to do with it, how about they post a topic something along the lines of " what can I do with X material?"

 

Ill Start it off. This is an easy one. What could I do with Black Sparkle Braid? I wrapped it around streamer bodies, but there isnt much bulk to it. If you tie it in on an end and let it hang, it will completely unravel. ? any thoughts?

I tie the abdomin of small black stonefly bodies with it. Great slim profile, just tie it in after the tail and wrap up the hook getting thicker as you go

 

You can also use it as the top of the woven flies

I'll go second. I got some black Polar Chenille for the body on buggers, any other pattens? :dunno:
