Recommended Posts

IMG_1461_zps5n1fw526.jpg


Tom Moore's embellishment of Gary LaFontaine's Buzzball, adding wing & shuck from a Sparkledun. I'll leave up to others to decide whether it's an improvement or just gilding the lily.



hook - Dai Riki 305 #16

thread - MFC 6/0 hot orange

shuck - Congo Hair amber

hackle - orange, dun, grizzly

wing - deer hair



mash barb, start thread at 2/3 mark
