eatsleapfishrepeat Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Renzetti's extended body tools make ( in my opinion) the best extended bodies I've seen. Has anyone else used these tools or made extended bodies some other way? I will post photos of some damsel flies that I tied using these tools.

SilverDoctor Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Looks like a handy tool, I normally tie on a waxed needle or between tow vices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryH Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've just used a beading needle when tying extended foam bodies on stonefly and hopper patterns. The Renzetti pins look like they might work better for smaller stuff like mayflies. Anyway, for those who are interested, there's an article on using the Renzetti pins in the current (i.e. Winter 2009) edition of Fly Tyer magazine.
