s1rGr1nG0 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 I ordered some UV resin, (also have some 5 minute epoxy at home), and I would like to try my hand at making more life like patterns for shrimp and crabs, (or perhaps hoppers), anything with a shell. Anyone got any links and tips/tricks to pull it off. I've seen a few YouTube videos where guys would cut a straw to use for a shrimp and coat it with resin. Came out looking good though. Any input is appreciated. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 I don't tie "UV Resin patterns", but I use it to build up heads and make flies a lot more durable. A healthy dose on the head of a deceiver, for example, also allows for much bigger eyes on the fly, which I like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
