Zulu and variants ...

[roll cast]

Tied another wee bunch of wets to add to my growing collection .

I started off with a traditional Zulu, apart from the tail which is antron as I couldn't find any red wool for the tail.

I then created some variants of different styles while keeping to the original colour scheme.





















The marabou tail on the lure is a much deeper almost Royal Mail sort of red, the image has made it a bit more orangey and less rich.

Great flies, I especially like the red tag hopper

Thanks, I'm actually thinking that some dyed red pheasant tail legs on that one would look good as well.

Yep, that would look excellent

Great, again, try adding hen hackle at the front just for a bit more movement

I like the gold head lure and the zulu variant. I dont know about the hopper, i think a rib or and red legs may help it.

Nice Flies , but Chaka would be turning in his Kraal, easker1

Point of information: the original Zulu has a flat silver rib.

Grumpius maximus strikes again!

I would fish them. Deadly pattern.

I like the variants....

I prefer the Blue Zulu, always seem to have more success with that for some reason....
