Urbs Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Not sure what you’d call this besides a Zonker. I’m sure I saw it somewhere. Rabbit strip tail, some flash, and a craft fur brush head around lead eyes. Also some .03 lead wraps around the eyes (just enough to really secure the eyes). Really nice action to these flies.

Tom L Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 A fish catcher for sure. Craft fur and zonker strips are my 2 favorites for flies. Now just add water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom L Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 I use a lot of dubbing loops, whether craft fur or other materials, on some of my flies. I enjoyed making them and tying them that way. I can see the benefit of premade dubbing brushes, but haven't try it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drilled a screw in a small board and it works surprisingly well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
