Eaglerapids 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 I have recently built a dubbing brush twister thingy and am busy trying to learn how to use it. The tail of this fly is a magnum white rabbit strip and the brush is made of arctic fox tail because I didn't have any rabbit fur long enough. The ability to embed flash into the brush and thus into the body is very cool. I'm still trying to make a good brush out of synthetic materials. I have some congo hair on order to try out.

FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2012 Hello Eaglerapids, really nice tie, and if you are getting stuck into dubbing brushes you will be hooked soon enough, can really put anything in them, i tend to enjoy split thread types or jigged up wire brushes best Anyway it inspired me to do up some brushy flies and more... Got some whitebaits on a size #8 bonefish hook and 0.020 leadfree wire... Pink baits. Mirror Minnows. CCG Mylar Minnows. Mini EP ties 1-1.5 inch. Just getting into some little articulated patterns Sorry another Nail fly, smaller tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglerapids 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2012 Gorgeous flys FF'J! I have a couple small minnow type flies I've tied up out of some poly yarn I'm taking down to a pond after posting this but the quality isn't that great, I took some pictures but I don't want to post them till I get a better understanding of how to work this material and I'm still waiting for the congo hair. These brushes are addicting, I really need to be tying nymphs but I'm hung up on this stuff:-). But, as I've read, sparse seems to be the key, I tend to go a bit overboard and get the materials to dense in the brush but I'm learning. Thanks again for posting your flies.

You are going to have fun with the congo hair, a load of methods you can use, even stacking it like deer hair to create nice bodies. You are right, i think use half of what you actually think you should use and it works well. You will have to post more flies when it arrives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
