Scratch has a spectacular aura aboutScratch has a spectacular aura about
Default First Bugbond Buzzers

Finally got wiv da programme and got my hands on some Bugbond. So here's a coulple of my first efforts then...

First up is an amalgam of a few buzzers I've seen kicking around lately. It's basically a White's black and red superglue, but with a wire rib thrown in and JC cheeks rather than holo....

Next up is little tweak one of Midlanders latest buzzers. Super skinny, and super sexy, this one worked well in a couple of colour schemes for Alex on our recent trip to Grafham. Alex knocked me a couple up at home that same evening and zapped 'em with Bugbond... job done, fies in the box for the next day... off to the pub

Depends what you mean by 'worth it'. It definately has its uses, and advantages.... such as knocking up an epoxy style fly in seconds, and then scampering off down the boozer. All sorts of other possiblities with it though, thanks to the quick-cure nature of the product. Will it do basic buzzers and nymphs etc better than Sally/Epoxy? No, just quicker.

All in all, for the price of a few pints, it's definately worth a pop.... hours of fun if nowt else!

Nicely done Rob
Im a big fan of the bugbond and use the lite on the heads of a lot of my flies.
Did you use the lite or regular on your buzzers ?
