Your videos are so enjoyable. I have struggled with squirmy worm materials. They literally get destroyed by most glues. The thread bed and that thread trick to pull it thru the head is a game changer. Now I can't wait to tye these now. Soooo many color options with different beads and worm material. THANK YOU for restoring my confidence. Nick in Redfield Arkansas
A very interesting video, thanks for sharing it with us. I tie a very similar "fly" however I just use a red rubber band because it costs virtually nothing catches plenty of fish and it's very durable.
Nice work, @Makflies , great trick with the thread through the bead. I noticed you didn't use your usual UV laser! I have also gone with the regular UV light when tying with squirmy material. I've found that the laser can actually 'melt' the material. Great stuff!
Great video! Interesting tying ideas. I had been cautioned in use of super glue & UV resins on squirmy worm material. Apparently it will deteriorate the material?
@@waynesnelley3900 I use Loctite super glue but have avoided it on this material because I have heard that it deteriorates the material… I will give it a try
OK!! Thanks video... I really like the Squirmy Worm, but its durability isn't great. The ones I've tied keep becoming soft and breaking apart. Is there a way to make them more durable?
I really like the way that looks with the bead versus just wrapping the worm with thread.

Can’t go wrong fly, fish love worms.
@@stefanoflocchini7805 thank you so much ☺️
Regular fly tying UV resins will crack after a short period oftime. Loon's UV Knot Sense is more pliable and lasts longer.

@@50Squirrel thank you sir. I don’t think it will deteriorate the material ☺️☺️
@@Makflies I don't use glue on squirmy worms I have found that various glues and resins will dissolve the material. I whip finish.
@@scottasbill6094 TO BE honest I do the same, I lock the bead with thread :)
Try Locite super glue.

Never fished a squirmy Arshad I suppose never say never 🐟🎣😂😂
@@lawrencemacd63 they are very effective Lawrence, you must try☺️
OK!! Thanks video...

Is there a way to make them more durable?
@@chjin2ne Thank you so much friend. I am sorry friend this material is not durable it’s just how it’s made
Cool way to make a squirmy. But if you skipped the uv part, then you can actually replace the material after the fish " tear it up"!!
@@sigurdurmarolafsson4183 thank you friend, I actually do that for myself, it’s just for the video I have added uv☺️☺️

Whats the best way to fish this or will any method do
@@SGT_Gunnery_Hartman I use it on the point single fly, works great 👍
Man this fly is ugly, but so effective though. Great video as always. Thanks Mak.
@@Mrfluefiske thank you so much ☺️ ☺️☺️
So a bass fishing Wacky Rig for fly-fishing?
@@NineteenEighty8 you can use it for bass fishing ☺️
I've been pulling the worm through the bead with a bobbin threader. It seems faster for me.
@@normehlers4503 I know but sometimes it cuts off the material.
👍👍👍👍

Thats Bad Pattern. I have the best....
