Mike West 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2016 Mike, did you put all those rubber legs in a loop? Nope...Kind of spun them like you would do deer hair. But I have done that before. Make like a rubber brush with a loop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2016 Don't worry Bimini, our photo skills are good for hiding the bad bits! But just when you think you've tied a good fly or taken a good photo, Kimo will come along with one of his spinny pictures!:-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bimini15 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2016 I think he ties his scuds in 32/0 hooks. That's why they look so clear and so big... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought these were pretty cool...harder to tie than described. I did a few and caught fish but they aren't as pretty as the poster tied. http://fiberglassflyrodders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54207&hilit=hairy+bugger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
