Anyone have any information on how to use this on a fly rig I’ve been fishing for steelhead, but can’t figure out how to get the yarn down to the steelhead on my fly rod. Guess I have to switch to the spin reel which I don’t want to do lol
I'm seriously struggling acquiring plastic straws here in Europe since I think they don't even sell these here anymore 😂 guess it could work with reusable straw just as well? 🤔
Monster hooks on tiny eggs? I wonder about: why does everyone on RUclips use these monster big hooks for these small, tiny eggs? They disturb the smootness of the eggs surface and tend to snag on the bottom. I prefer to mount two windings of Lead wire on a bent hook size 16, so the egg will almost completely hide the tiny hook. The lead will position the hook to guarantee a upright Position in water , which counts for less snagging- its mostly forgotten, that the physics , weight and streaming behavior of Flies in the water is crucial for successful tackle.
We use them for fish that would straighten out a a size 16 hook every time. In spring Great Lakes steelhead fishing, I have even straightened out the exact hook he is using.
Best one I’ve seen yet on the RUclips’s! Thanks
Nice and easy!
Barry, you are my kind of guy! It's okay if if don't look perfect at first, just take a torch to it and burn it into submission boys!! I love it.
Thanks Dan, good luck with it.
very cool and good use of things
Thanks Joe!
I wish that I would have seen this video before salmon and steelhead season. I will definitely be using this technique later this fall.
Cheers
I particularly liked the advice to use a lighter to clean up the egg. I used this technique on my first glo bug and it came out great.
Good stuff Jon!
Great video. How many strands for
Like a size 14 or 16 hook..? Thanks for
Any help..
Thanks Chris, not sure, never tied them that small!
Very nice sir, well done!
Why thank you FRH.
I like it, unique!
Thanks Stan.
What thread is this? I am using a thread or other threads that cannot be pulled as tight as seen in the video
Hi Daniel, its Dyneema 55, if you can't get that GSP 50 will also do.

Hi Andy, you can attache a Tungsten bead to the hook first before you make the yarn egg!
@@Thefeatherbender thank you for that I’m looking into it now
@@Campingandfishingwithandy Please let me know how you get on!
do they sink without a tungsten pearl ?
Hi Mario, No if you would like a Glow bug egg that sinks you have to add weight in one way or another.
@@Thefeatherbender thank you for the video and the info .

It works perfectly with a reusable straw, clear plastic is the best so you can see what is going on.
I use a writing pen with guts and ends removed
