day5 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 I use Prism dark brown PM-88 I let it dry then I cover the color only with Sally's (sage learned me that lill trick!!!) It gives it a real blotchy effect!! I tie the latex in at the bead and tie it back to the middle point of the hook them I wrap it forward and back and forward and tie off. You can make it thicker Or thinner by controlling the tension of the latex. (tighter thinner looser thicker ect....) also over lapping and not over lapping affects the thickness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelie 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 Good Day, Good stuff Matt... great for 'gills too! I also tie a "glow" nymph very similar to the waxies pictured above. I used glow yarn instead of latex. Charge it up in the evening and get to it! Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
