Definitely going to be using it for jigging smallmouth on my 8wt, one of the coolest bass bugs I’ve seen in a while.

If you get some nice fish on it, post them to Facebook or Insta and tag me so I can see them!

Good luck!

No problem! Glad you liked it. I have since learned that a heat gun will melt the glue and allow you to pulll the cap off and clean out the end a little easier.

Yes, you hit the nail in the head, very simple to tie, but casts a tasty profile to the fish. They work great in brown, olive and chartreuse as well as other colors.

Thank you very much. It’s actually why I started making videos. It’s so frustrating to watch videos, by even famous tiers, that don’t tell you anything. You just watch them tie. No explanation as to why each step is done how it is. And often what they do say is not helpful…. So I started making videos for people who actually want to learn something.

I love when people ask for “recipes” as though they’re baking a cake. I get it, but it’s always funny to me.

Yeah. That’s other part of this tying strategy; it’s pretty easy to tie, so I don’t mind fishing them like I want to lose them.

Hahaaa!! Yup. Done that a few times. Not easy to get exact amount of yarn that goes through the pen easily enough but is not so little that the eggs don’t hold their shape. I have since switched to using this braided beading wire from the craft store to pull the yarn. It doesn’t break. Same stuff as fly fishing pike leader material.

Thanks a lot! I started making videos because so many don’t really explain anything useful about how to actually tie. Glad you found it helpful! Feel free to share it!!

Let me know how you do with it!

I have video on making fly with just a bead but have not tried adding a plastic or metal bead to a tied egg. Does it work?

@@pauldavidbinkley I’ll let you know. I’m going salmon fishing in Sept. in Michigan. A deep fast river. I’m hoping they get down fast, behind a weighted streamer.

Nice. I’ll be on the PM, the Betsie and the Platt the last weekend of Sept into Oct. maybe I’ll try the same. Though I usually just fish black egg sucking leach for Kings as they seem to really whack black streamers every year, and when I fish eggs I tend to catch baby steelhead and resident browns. But when the going gets tough I def switch to an egg patter and you’re right the rivers up there have a good flow to them, hard to get down in such a short deep drift. Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ll be on the PM Sept. 8-12!!

You are very welcome! Glad you liked it. Hope it inspires you get creative at the bench! Feel free to share a link to my vid anywhere you want!

Good tips! Never heard of cork seal. Is that like Thompsons water seal?

Thanks for the tip!

Yes, I know. Made that a long time ago. Didn’t have a very good camera for closeups. But at least you got to see my beard….

I have done that also. You’re right that works pretty good!!

Thanks a lot! Hope you love it!!

That would be an honor!

Good luck to you. Very convenient to have the rods in one piece while out fishing.

You’re very welcome!

Lol. But it might be too skinny

Hey thanks! I been working a lot. You’re right though. Need to make some more content. Thanks for the encouragement

You’re very welcome!

Thanks a lot. That’s actually why I started making videos. I was tired of watching one’s that don’t really tell you much and I figured others may feel that way too.

Super glad it’s working for you! And I too love the very little waste. Hate it when my scrap bin is more full than my fly box!

I don’t think of them eyes so much as ballast. I suppose you can place them anywhere you want. I choose to put them at the tail for two reasons. I think the motion when stripping in looks pretty realistic with the weight at the tail, and secondly I like the way the body of the fly tends to float upright and buoyant looking when resting on the bottom. I tend to fish rocky streams. Maybe on flat bottom it would work as well anywhere on the fly

Thanks! I got tired of watching super fast tying videos that don’t give any of the reasoning for the method. So I decided to make the kinds of videos I want to watch! Thanks for enjoying them

Thank you so much! I would love to visit and fish with you!!!

Boiled cork! Yummie vegan tea.

Jane Friend thanks for listening. The amount of talking is very deliberate. You can watch a thousand one minute videos that tell you nothing. My niche is to inform the listener. Plenty of people would love to have someone explain why a certain strategy is desirable, and not just watch speed- glory vids of great tiers wanting to make others feel inadequate or in experienced. Please don’t watch any other of my videos if you are a fan of speed tying.

Thanks! I have actually done some VO for my employer, Honda but never for additional income. I wold like to though. So if you have any contacts....
