Anyone ever tried a product called "Chew Balls"?

Recommended Posts

looks similar to a product called something like "Otter's Real Eggs" or some such a few years ago, except those were packaged as individual little balls, not all strung together in a chain. I never tried them, as McFlyFoam yarn was much cheaper and worked just fine.

I do use egg Yarn patterns quite often however I've had alot of success with a realistic looking egg pattern fly tied by a local fly company.. I altered the ones I had to suite my needs this past winter but I would like to tie a few dozen before fall steelie season..

 

It requires 3mm or 4mm rubber eggs in a hot orange or salmon color..

I would prefer to buy within canada as I wouldn't be purchasing enough to offset the cost of international shipping..

 

Any reviews, suggestions or help is always appreciated.

 

thanks

Ever tried hot melt glue and glue gun technique? Don't know if I have seen it in Canada. Bought mine out of a shop in Montana Years ago.

I have tried the glue gun method in the past. I don't recall them turning out very round. I will see about finding the correct color glue sticks and maybe give it another try.

 

I have been away from the tying bench for a few years now. So I'm sort of re learning alot of techniques and tricks again.

I'm just getting back into it again now that I can afford to start re-purchasing materials after an unforseen storage accident..

Seems to me that the people who market Chew Balls are missing the boat by not having a lion or a couple of piranhas on their logo. I know it would get my attention.
