I can not remember if I have thanked you for the idea with the lighter!!! It has made my vinyl ribbaldar tying so much more relaxed over the years and I tie á lot of them anyway. I guess the cursing went down 80%😂😂😂
Great work in your videos, thank you for making them. A question (or two) about the stretchy plastic -- do you find it holds up well against rocks and fish teeth, for example as well as tying thread does against these things? I noticed you coat the stretchy stuff (after tying it) in UV resin in some of your work -- how do you decide when to coat it and when to leave as-is? Thank you.
Thank you J P, I am glad you like it, The elastic is strong enough, it all depend how many fish you are catching with it , as you know nothing last for ever, Now using the UV Resin it's all personal, you can use it or leave as it is, :)), both work fine :)))
Very Nice Mak. I have been practicing how to tie with the clear stretch ever since I saw you using that material. I kinda like it. Your Red Blood Worm turned out really Nice! Now I have to look for the red clear stretch. LOL! Thanks for sharing this video with us Mak. Aloha!🌴🦐🎣🐟🐠 By the way where is a good place to get a Hungarian Partridge Skin with a lot of Nice Brown Feathers? Are the Natural Molted Gray or March Brown Feathers from the Whiting Brahma Hen Saddle like the Hungarian Partridge?
Thank you Kent, I am glad you like this Pattern, As for the Partridge Skin, I have been using only Brown Partridge, I normally buy mine from Veniard, or Lakeland , in UK, Brahma Hen Hackles are quite good for Soft Hackle :))
Makflies Thanks for that information Mak! I didn’t see any from Lakeland. Veniards has Gray English Partridge. The brown feathers come in a package. Is this the one you buy? 🌴🦐🎣🐟
@Makflies I see the Essential fly in the UK has Veniards English Grey Partridge brown feather packs. I wonder if they would work. The Hareline feather packs I bought are rubbish and the Hungarian Partridge skin I got doesn't have the Nice Brown Feathers that I'm looking for. You know like that ones you used to tie your Transparent Caddis Larvae. That's the kind I'm looking for. 😊 When you buy stuff like this online you'll never know what you will be getting and they're expensive too, but I don't mind paying the price if I knew exactly what it's going to look like. If they're is anything else you can suggest please let me know. You Take Care. Aloha!🌴🦐🎣🐠
