cheech 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2013 Sorry if this is a duplicate... I couldn't find a November thread. I have been messing with parachutes and marabou. The Allen D102BL is officially my favorite dry fly hook right now. Very sticky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2013 Blane, those are the old time method of making them. I put a little lead on top of hook on the front half, tie in x-large mylar tubing, I think it's #44 from Cascade Crest. 5 min epoxy goes on inside to stick it together and shape it. Copics and Sharpies used to color and OnTheVise stick-on eyes for effects. Topcoated with 30-minute cure epoxy all around, after that dries, a second coat is put on the back of the fly/top of hook side. They're quite durable. About a 25 minute tie but you can catch about three dozen reds on them and then recoat with epoxy for another couple dozen. Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
