I think next time I will either base wrap the lead in floss or put some surgical tape on it like I've seen done with other flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ebrant10 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2013 I side with riff here, latex worms work amazing for me, something like the vladi worm which is a big heavy meat fly works great. You can get the pink latex condoms from performance flies (just google it) most fly shops dont carry condoms! Although there may be some more specialized adult stores that you may find these in i side with performance flies because they carry the right ones(no lube) and a lot of other materials from across the pond like jan siman dubbing which is amazing btw.
