A few from last night

[denzil3009]

Fab


Bloodworm (used red goose biots for the body)


Diawl Bach (variant)


Shipmans buzzer


This is ment to be a greenwells glory, but it didnt turn out right


peacock quilled cruncher


Peacock quilled buzzer (varnish was messed up )


Thoughts, suggestions ?

[fortbhoy]

not bad mate i like the bloodworm pattern, not sure about the biot body though. something more durable like flexi floss or just red thread varnished may be better. the cruncher have you used cock instead of hen?
it looks a little stiff, they are all fish catchers the just need a little refining.
all the best.

Thank you

Yeah i used the cock instead of hen on the cruncher, but ive ordered a hen cape

The bloodworm pattern, i was just bored, and i would have varnished over the biot but my varnish is horrendous and ends up going like the last fly i posted.

Im waiting for my uv cure resin arriving though

For varnish on bodies mate use sally hannsen hard as nails great for buzzers/quil bodies and the likes. Get it out of boots semi chem and so on. Its a clear nail varnish.

Thanks, i already bought it off ebay

Just waiting for it to arrive. I also bought diamond hard uv resin package from deer creek

So hopefully my problems with varnish will be gone

[greenock]

Aye that will be you sorted then mate

Can the fritz for blobs/fabs ever be too big ?

[flytyingguy]

Can never have to big blob But you can gems with 6mm fritz

[greenock]

Only thing would check with the blob is that you have enough room at the gape of your hook to hold the fish i use a kamasan b160 size 6/8 for my blobs.

[denzil3009]

Is 6mm fritz big enough ?

Iv been using 15mm, but as you can see from the pic it completely hides the hook. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. :/


Do the Kamasan b160's have a wider gape ? Im new to using Kamasan hooks.

Thanks
