Guest rich mc Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 crawbug is so cool. about how long does it take to tye a hex? rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 rich, I can do a hex in about 10 minutes. its the golden stones that are very time consuming. I do them in stages, so the flex seal has time to dry. I tie the bodies, color them and seal them. I do 6-8 at a time and then start the second step on the first one over again. usually by then its dry enough to continue. the crawbug is a example of my "hybrid" flies. it is of my own design using ideas from other flies. you wont find it in any book. that is what I was talking about on johns thread.
