stayed tuned for another video on that coming soon. The proportion of the front shank, density of material especially near the head, and the proper keel weight contribute to its glidability ;)
@@muskyfoolflyfishing sweet! You guys make great content so I'm excited. Not even a musky fisherman but you guys make it enticing! I'm just looking for a fly that'll work like a glidebait and it's been a struggle. Buford is the closest thing I've found.
That's a lot of stacks of bucktail! Does having the thicker body help with the action of the fly? When I'm tying large saltwater bucktail patterns I try to go sparse for castability with hollow ties creating the bulk, only switching to closer stacks near the front.
The amount of Bucktail is directly contributing to how these flies swim. That and the shank/keel is what gives this fly the glide that is truly unmatched by anything else out there. It's why we have an almost cult like worshipping of them...too a fault sometimes. We are mainly solving for how these flies swim and not as concerned with perception of bulk or matching any hatch. They are heavy to tie but it's how they have been engineered to get the movement we desire. I think it's truly one of the unique aspects of musky fly tying especially when compared with saltwater Bucktail work and hollow ties.
Man that's a lot of fur stacking lol, beauty of a fly though! Wonder if let's say someone did taxidermy on a small muskrat with hooks how productive that would be?
They are just average a grade tails that we sell dude! The video might make them look giant. It doesn't take long fiber to make these flies possible just the right type of hair.
Nice one! Also perfect for pike and trow them with a casting or spin rod.
Awesome video! We just fished the kyrivermuskyclassic and threw a bunch of gliders! Hope y’all make it out next year!
Hell ya homie. Hope you guys gave em hell! We will be there next year come hell or high water!
Sick tie!
Sweet fly! What is the name of the tool you used to bend the wire if you don't mind me asking?
Concave Pliers is the hand tool, the boggmaster is the bigger desk tool. Both are in stock at muskyfool.com
Need to try this in a micro platform for smallmouth or pike, what causes the glide? The long dense front half of the fly?

@@muskyfoolflyfishing Would love to see a video of this one swimming and how building on that long shank imparts its movement.
What’s the loop in the shank for? Split ring and front hook?
exactly!
That's going to get some looks
Wow, that's a big musky fly.
giant!

It would be very productive. They use to use all sorts of furry animals like that to catch Muskies back in the day!
Ok… where did you get those giant bucktails? 😂😂😂😂

What vise are you using in this video?
renzetti saltwater traveller!
What weight rod and line for this fly?
