SBPatt 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2020 Curious as to why you used ungulate hair for the tail, but put a brass bead up front and wrap the shank with lead (or no-tox?). Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Landon P 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2020 Not sure what ungulate hair means. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Landon P 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2020 Nvm google came to the rescue. Still confused tho. The bead and lead free wire makes it sink like a rock so it stays on the bottom without having to use split shots when nymphing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landon P 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2020 Not sure what to say here Scott. It sinks butt down like most other nymphs and I've never had a problem with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2020 It's only the thicker, hollow portion of the deer hair that's buoyant, right? If he's using the tips, which aren't hollow (or has smaller air chambers), then it won't provide much in the way of buoyancy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
