Jokey 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 New bluegill bug to test. I didn't get a couple of the legs furled quite as tight as I'd like but I doubt the fish will care. It's lightly weighted with .015 non-lead wire and small bead chain (powder painted hot orange) to keel it point up. Sorry.....the furled legs are a coated wire? Really cool looking tie.

J If i had to wager a guess, its round rubber legs, that were twisted up in his hand before tying in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J You've lost me...there's no wire in the legs. The non-lead wire for weight is wrapped on the shank behind the bead chain eyes. The legs are just furled round rubber.

The thread wraps hold the tension on them, keeping them twisted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlaFly 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 But what is the body made of??? could be beads, or foam coated with resin or epoxy? Maybe a SBS or video would answer all our questions at once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elusive.fishing 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 But what is the body made of??? could be beads, or foam coated with resin or epoxy? Maybe a SBS or video would answer all our questions at once. The Body looks like a dubbing that is something similar to SLF Nymph dubbing, with a peice of Flash running the length, and then segmented with a gold wire. The thorax and head look to be the same as well, just wrapped around those sweet looking red barbell eyes, and the legs are the yellow round rubber that were twisted up and tied in. And then for the legs maybe each of the legs/tails is its own separate peice of rubber, Or tied in as sets. How close am I Cream? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a recipe to hold you off until I 1) actually test the fly and catch fish on it then decide that 2) it's worth the time/effort to do a video for a pattern that works and is somewhat proven. Hook: DaiRiki #270 size 10 (stonefly type hook) Eyes/Weight: small bead chain, .020 non lead wire Tail: furled rubber legs Rib: yellow small Ultra Wire Flashback: black holographic tinsel Shellback: black scud back Body: black Spectrablend nymph dubbing Legs: furled rubber legs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
