O.K......I've been tying up some of these & I'm thinking there must be a trick when wrapping the 'Latex'? body.....I am using the right materials but I'm doing something wrong because I can't seem to get a spiral on the body...even when I twist it & wrap.....damn stuff is all over the place......any suggestions ?........hold the wise cracks , now.

Any chance of posting a pic?

 

on similar patterns I tie with latex strip bodies, I get a tapered, segmented body by decreasing the tension or stretch of the material as I wrap it forward from the tail. Also make sure you have a smooth underbody before wrapping the latex. You can build it up even and smooth with layers of thread wraps or with floss. I don't think you want to twist the latex as you wrap it.

Thanks for the input.....the video did it in a less complicated way than the step by step I was using.

Hope it works well, these have been great on the Housy and Farm for me!

 

If nothing seems to be working these do save the day.

Flygirl, good to see you posting. I agree with the comments and really think that tying the underbody with a smooth taper is the real key, lets see your efforts . Also taper the latex B4 tying it in
