Big 'un fer big 'uns

[JG63]

Since I can't say "articulated" due to trademark restrictions, I will say here is my first attempt at a jointed streamer. Re-purposed Epoxy dumbbell eyes from the old Gaines company with Mustad 34007 stainless hook and stinger. I'm going to dress it up with some living eyes too. Light enough for a 6 weight. Bulky enough for whatever happens along.

Here's the finished product:

But wait! There's more!

Notice the wire joint with Swarovski crystal beads -

I didn't "Clouserize" the wool/Bucktail head on this one

A pair of beauties (if'n I do say so me self) hope the fishies think so-

JG, thats some good looking stuff. I like the orange and white one the best.

Nice Job,

Thanks GC - I'm sure they'll improve with practice. I'm going to try synthetic (craft fur) if I can get long enough strands. Bucktail is brittle and only lasts so long. Gotta finish my Killer bug collection first though. Three different Chadwick's 477 substitutes to try. So little time!

why can't you say articulated..?

 

[JG63]

Sandfly, seems that the Fish Skull folks have trademarked the term. My non use of the term is in protest - :^\

they can't trade mark it articulated flies have been around for years
