Bugger swap

Recommended Posts

Ok Ok I give lol I don't tye many buggers and looking at these I can tell. I have some questions so I can copy these. First Decisions WHAT did you do to the head of yours? How did you do it? Next, djh262 did the beads get twisted on mine or is it correct? What's your thinking with this one? Vicente info on your hook and bead please. Flat Rock Native can I get the tying info? It looks like something I need for steelhead. I think I have the rest figured out.

Yes, called a balanced bead head. The pin is any pin that will not allow the bead to fall off. In this case, it is a pin from craft work earing. I have also used brass brad nails in 22 gauge as well as seamstress pins cut down to length.

 

Hope this answers your questions.

The beads probably got twisted on yours. They're supposed to be on the sides of the hook. I may have forgotten head cement on a couple of them.
