  1. Quilting pins for foam frog eyes colored with a sharpie . I have also used candy wrappers, and gum foil , drinking straws, tape , rubber bands , elastic band like that found on underwear is a good source for rubber legs as is bungie cords Christmas tinsel . cotton balls . facial hair mixed into yarn copper wire striped from electric cords . plastic fork prong for underbody . I have not how ever used some ones pearl jewelry although one could if you like living on the edge.
  2. Flys arrived this morning . Big Thanks to Devin and all who participated for making this a great swap .
  3. might want to add a few mudler minows and a few clousers .
  4. you can use permanent markers, you can use fabric paint / or model piants like you use on plastic models . finger nail polish if you can find the right colors .
  5. tuff choses very tuff . Do i vote artisticly or fishability . that realistic art fly would make a nice picture box .
  6. Afew Ideas . sart with a bead head metal glass glowin the dark . then tie in a marabue tail from the bead back or try crystal flash or flashabue. you could also wrap wire around the hook shank and glue prismatic tape to the hook thus making a jiging spoon. or use a press on finger nail . here is another idea for a waxie imatation 6/0 or 8/0 black or brown thread i used black use a cadis hook thats curved . wrap a body with wire or lead with a bit more bulk in the chenter .tie on a cream color yarn at bend wrap back a bit and then forwerd wrap yarn forwerd . form head whip finish then run a lighter fast over the body to singe the fuzzyness and add a bit of brownish grayish hue to the bodie . go to a craft store and buy glow in thedark tubeing or vynle and use that for a body . buy 1/64 oz jig heads all the way up to 1/4 oz and just make a jig . make a jig using solder then paint the body . I hope this gives you a few crative ideas .
  7. I like it . i'd tie in a few strands of peacock and have them extend to the tail . perhaps biger cheaks to go back to the hook bend or extend the white hair and make it a bit fuller . to cove more of the hook bend you could also add some crystal flash .
  8. Can always take a book with you. :ripped: Can't alsways take a computer onless you have a lap top .
