Peddler 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Is it just me or do micro fibbets seem far too thin and not really to scale with the tails on real mayfly's? Is there such an animal as Maxi or even normal fibbets? I have clusters of the dainty micro fibbets and am looking for something a bit more substantial. If paint brish bristles, is there a particulat brand and type of brush you favor? Thanks, Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 or moose body hair? or any animal hair larger in diameter than microbibbets? or larger paint bristles? head out to your local big box craft/hobby store and see what they have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whatfly 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 Just tie multiple microfibbets in, and then run just a bit of head cement up each clump to join them together, smooth out with your fingers. Works fine when you want to bulk up the tail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
