jjthom2 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Another mega double bunny pattern. This one has been great for big bulls in more subtle color schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjthom2 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Neat,how is the head done on the perch fly? The head is closed cell foam cut to shape, folded in half, and secured with epoxy. Colored with markers and then coated with epoxy. It's similar to a crease fly but based on the "foam head baitfish" pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBBrownie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Those are nice ties. The big rabbit would be good for bulls in more natural colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
