Default traffic light
could anyone tell me how to go about making the 'traffic light' rib on a buzzer?
am i right in supposing its pearl holo on top of red?
and finally does it catch fish better than your average joe sort of ribed buzzer
all the best

I think it catches better...

and your right it's pearl over red holo and varnished...

great on buzzers, cormorants, crunchers, etc...

I wouldnt worry to much about the rib being traffic light like, its more the thorax i would be keeping as a traffic light affect when it comes to buzzers.
I would keep the rib to natural stripped quill, just my thoughts anyway

Actually I agree...stripped quill always for the rib on buzzers then thorax cover or wing buds traffic light effect on buzzers 91 or the other not both)

Rib on cormorants

thorax on crunchers

sorry for any confusion
