Wink Cadburys Praline buzzer
HI Guys

I was teachinig the lad how to tie as he got a basic kit for Christmas, obviously he not got the money us grown ups have got to spend on tying materials.

To this end i was telling him you can use all sorts of everyday, he didnt have any yellow or orange goose biots for cheeks on his buzzers he was rather dispondent ...........i had a rumage around came up with a cadburys flake wrapper cut it into strips hey presto rather striking cheeks i think you will agree

Nothing new here i now but it goes to show you dont have to spend a fortune in the tackle shop, the ribbing on this is very fine green holo tinsel i got from a sewing shop, £1 very fine and a huge spool

The lad tied a very nice buzzer along with some other patterns, i was so impressed with his flake cheeks i tied a few myself.......

Lovely Buzzer, he should be proud, Its similar to a buzzer I tie but the flake cheeks surpass my goose biots, I love their vibrancy.

Now you'll have to get him to buy you some "Maryland, choc chip minis" then you can cut the wrappers for him
