Norm it looks like you didn't use Solarez on that fly's head - If I'm correct is there a reason? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moshup 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 @Sandan Very nice all the way around. I like that Utc Wood duck. Midge jaws look pretty awesome. How do you like them ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you like them ? @Moshup Thanks. The Wood duck was what I thought would be the closest to silk. Gonna have to scrounge some up. I really like the midge jaws. I pretty much use them for 18's and smaller. They allow me more access to the back/bend of the hook which I find advantageous. I'd recommend 'em. I have an old set that's only slightly worn out but still usable if you want to give 'em a try. Edit: I tied those spiders before seeing your P&O. Nice tie. Great minds, eh?

Moshup 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 @Sandan. Another nice one. Thanks for the generous offer but I have a pair that I bring out for photo opportunities. Lol. I was just telling Pbass that I had an old set of the regular jaws that I just sent off to a friend who used his barracuda over the years to rig saltwater plugs. He did a number on those jaws ! I should post a picture as I don’t think he ‘s a member here. Hopefully ! 🙄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
