Fly Tying: Brammer's Mini - Death Grip - Trout Streamer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 янв 2018
- The Mini - Death Grip is a bite sized articulated streamer perfect for matching immature or smaller forage such as fat heads, chubs, and sculpins. The small size of the fly is ideal for smaller watersheds, creeks, and low and clear conditions and is able to be thrown effectively on a 5 wt rod. The fly is designed to be nearly weightless, and is intended for sink tip and full sinking lines, however you can simply swap the Large Bead Chain eyes for Small Lead eyes to modify for Floating lines.

Great video!!!! I never get tired of watching you tie, brother. I really appreciate the amount of detail that you put into explaining not only the process but, the reason behind the process. Thanks for another great fly.
I love how you explain the physics behind the choices in your used materials!🤓
I have tied flies for years and have decided to venture into streamers... Thank you for your approach. Simplicity with great explanation. Thanks my friend.
Thanks for a wonderful video and the chat at the end of the video. I used to fish 100 days a year for many years in a row. I just recently decided to get back into again. Obviously, bugs and meat patterns have progressed over that timespan. Your a great teacher. And I love the way you teach and how much understanding goes into the rhetoric.
Gunnar, Thanks for sharing this pattern. I tied some for a Bull Trout trip. The trout enthusiastically approved. I made some changes but tied them essentially as you instructed. It is by far one of the fishiest flies I have ever seen in the water.
Best tie video and pattern composition I have seen in a long time. Extremely well conceived design. Thanks.
Also, thanks for the tip on replacing deer hair with the strung fuzzy fiber. Brilliant!! Never cared much for working with deer hair. This is an awesome and in my opinion superior approach.
Just recently found your channel and am loving it. I first started tying flies in 1977 without the aid of a vise and didn't own a vise until 1980. I later learned how to spin & stack deer hair for my Smallmouth bugs through trial and error. Your channel is very informative and I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome to hear Doug, hope you like what you find. Thanks for watching man!
Thanks for the tutorial on Strung Fuzzy Fiber. What an awesome replacement/technique for replacing dear hair. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love your detailed explanations in hook choice and materials. I’ve learned a ton from watching your videos. Absolutely awesome stuff! Thanks!
Really like the swim video, especially on the pause. Thanks again!
Awesome tutorial. Keep the videos coming. Lots of great techniques and in-depth explanation.
It never gets old brutha....well done!!!
Thank you for an intelligent, well-explained pattern!
Nice job Gunner. I am looking forward to tying it! Thanks for the tutorial !!
Great explanations of the materials and methods that you use and choose.
Great explanation, well worth a watch. Thanks from down-under in NZ.
Simple and genius fly! You’re the man, great video! Thanks!!
Awesome video man, I appreciate all the information while you were tying. I definitely need to learn how to build those brushes like you do.
Thanks Gunnar! Been anxious to see this after seeing the cool black ones on your FB page, especially the eyes. Going to the vice and will be fishing it tomorrow. As always, thanks for sharing.
Well done sir. Your construction ideas and steps made a great deal of sense. Suspended streamers are so important. Great use of materials!
I love the brush idea...sweet!
Class video learn so much every time and the finished fly is lethal
Fantastic tying and instruction will be trying these on Irish rivers cheers
Gotta say I love your videos man. You have a great talent!
Mate your channel is ace! Definitely be tying some of these, cheers
Hell yea - great tutorial and yes! Manhandle it. If you don’t break something every now and again you probably aren’t using enough tension.
Awesome, thank's for the Masterclass!
Let me guess...you're an engineer? Haha love how much thought went into this.
Hey Gunnar, Thanks for the video. I was looking for a tutorial on using strung fuzzy fiber and this is great. Do you try to trim the heads in a similar way to what Galloup does with deer hair: Flat bottom, fins on the sides? I couldn't really tell from watching. Thanks.
Learned a lot awesome video
Love those eyes. I think I will try putting my wood lathe to work making some dubbing brushes. Do you have a suggestion for full sinking line I have a 10 wt. and tied many of your flies and started weighting them to compensate for the floating line. What do you suggest for pike and big browns in while be able to fish flats and deep edge. Your work is awesome and supper inspiring. Keeper coming.
It would be interesting to see a tour of your tying station and layout
Awesome video!
Nice fly thanks. do you have a video on how you put together your composite bugger brush? Thanks
Dude, great explnnation , thank you.
Casts great too. Both Skagit and traditional.
Gunnar....... Top shelf.. Wicked mint! ; )
Very informative, what are you fishing for with this fly? Thanks.
Quick to do .I like it
Great vid as per usual. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and contagious enthusiasm. Would really like to get into the brushes and was wondering what size wire you use for your standard brushes? If you've answered this before I apologize and will certainly check through your videos to see.
It's ok I found the answer in you dynamic dubbing brushes part 1 thanks again
Love the looks of this streamer.i must find some!
Gunnar, have you ever tried doing the head as a brush as well? Would that save time, or does the wire of the brush end up being too bulky?
Nice Job, sorry I missed you at Schulzty in ann arbor.
Enjoy all our videos, and believe I am a better tier for it!
Ca n you explain how you made the brush with hackle? Would love to make those to save time
What substitute could i use for the fuzzy fiber head? Ep fibers?
I don’t have fuzzy fibers. I do have EP fibers which are kind of wavy. Could I use EP fibers instead, or do you think EP fibers are still too flimsy compared to fuzzy fibers?
Interesting theory on the on the hook momentum. So basically you want an action akin to a glide bait.
Can you get the same action of head movement coming down river?
They offer Steve Farrar’s SF blend in more color options than strung fuzzy fiber. Have you ever considered that material or do you think it is too stiff for this application?
I have spun the SF, I think the fuzzy stuff is not as stiff, and the fuzzy stuff seems more easily workable into a head
Hi Gunnar, I also have a HMH they were built 10mi from my house, they moved but are still in Maine, I also have a Regal revolution and a nor-vise all 3 are built like a tank
miles
Man , I have to buy couple of these for my 5WT ,
Gunner why would you not put the strung fuzzy fiber in a brush?
Looks great. Mini articulated streamers are more suitable for our smaller UK rivers. One question, on these smaller patterns, do you think the rear hook point is needed or could you clip it off and just rely on the front hook?
Peter Finnis Good question, my thoughts exactly on cutting rear hook. I live in B.C. CA Where 2 hooks are banned.
The rear hook is certainly not necessary from the standpoint of missing fish, but the mass form the hook helps aid in the this particular flies action. You could easily swap the rear hook for a shank, but it may be worth bending your own shanks form thicker wire, adding sparse weight to the rear shank - say 5 turns of .025 on a thinner wire shank, or you may find it fishes well regardless.
Thanks Gunnar. Yes, adding a few turns of lead wire to compensate makes sense
In our research that you can recreate, you will learn that the back hook will be the engaged hook when the water is cold. I've personally seen 90 percent of takes on the back hook in cold Spring waters. Not everyone believes in trailing hooks, but I do wonder if they are aware of how many fish they miss.
Thoughts on cutting the back hook? Doing so would eliminate the keel and allow the back hook to swim more freely, but it might also disrupt the rearward momentum that you're going for. Thoughts?
Gunnar, I stumbled onto your site after seeing a photo of the Mini Death Grip. I was watching you tie when I spied a tool I just have to ask about. I’ve been tying with an HMH vice for some 40+ years, and in fact talked with Bill Hunter many years ago (HMH = Hunter’s Mad House) at a Denver show. I was drifting along with you when you used a black clip around the barrel of the vise to secure the articulating hook. It looked like a perfect fit. What is that clip you used?
Hey Jim, it's just a small sized hair clip that you can find at wallgreens or wallmart, ect..... Usually by the hair products like shampoos, ect...
Nice sir, subbbbbed
I want to learn with you budd
I'm convinced that the full sized death grip doesn't actually exist. Cannot find even a picture of it (and no, I don't believe the video tutorial by the guy with the soul patch is the actual death grip, I think he just tied the mini on bigger hooks).
Awesome video. I would love to pick your brain for a week.
Easy tie. I guess you could tie a bunch really fast. Thanks.
Can you fish this on a 5wt?
i want to know the same thing
30:48
Can a dude buy these somewhere?
