Nice one , what is it made of though ??

I have done my first poxy buzzers today as a test run like I don't have flat threads yet so found it hard to keep it all as I wanted .

Nice tying. I do some similar, with coloured thread and a black flexi rib. White thread is surprisingly effective, it goes translucent when varnished. There's no need to get complicated with buzzers IMO.
