excellent fly pattern, well tied, I enjoy and appreciate your vids and I'll tie your flies and fish them. - ! Teflon ! has no place in our rivers and streams or soil or any of our water.
Nice , I like the way you attached the mono to keep the tail from fowling . Does the glue hold the tail in place and keep it there on the mono ? Thanks for sharing
You can scratch up the mono a little with a file so it holds better and glue the tail to it. This method works really good , almost never fouls for me.
@@funnyman2828 just got back from tarpon fishing and tied some mini dragon tail Palolo worms 🪱 swim great but not very durable they come apart. But did catch fish on them
@@mikekuczynski1552 is the worm hatch already on? That’s one thing about the tails that suck. When Magnum and Orvis collaborated they promised to make them more durable but it seems not. Did you try burning the end and adding a layer of epoxy to it
@@funnyman2828 worm hatch is coming to an end . I’ve tried glue and burning they still come apart. But when I tie anything with the dragon tail I figure it’s good for at least one fish and since most patterns you tie with a dragon tail are an easy tie it’s no big deal, just reuse the hook and your good to go . The part I like best is the way they swim , fish love them . That’s the upside.
Hook point down! It would seem like the placement of the dumbbell eyes would make it flip, but the bulky head and buoyant tail act almost like a keel to keep it upright.
@@jamesross8026 nope , I tie these on 1/0 hooks for Tarpon . Unless you’re just fishing for juveniles you could use 1 or 2 . Safest 1/0 why take the chance :-)
