Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 i hate tying streamers..take sooo long to do one, already bought a ton of stuff for the nymph collection and such... next time in okotoks i'll check the stash of bully materials....might have to bring some back Quote
sirocco Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Din, what did you use to glue the rabbit strips together? Quote
Din Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Din, what did you use to glue the rabbit strips together? I tried to use head cement for both the rabbit and the eyes...didn't work as it was too runny so i used 5 min epoxy. if i had crazy glue i prolly woulda used that for the rabbit strips. Quote
OneMoreLastCast Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Looks good. A couple tips for you if you want. Crazy clue works, but if you are taking the time anyways to tie the Bunny, try using a needle and mono to make a quick stitch to hold the two together. Crazy glue lets go after awhile, but the stitch holds until you snap the hook off. Also, even though the standard is to have the two strips the same length, I would suggest leaving one strip an inch or two longer. This will give it a bit more action that seems to induce more strikes. Quote
reevesr1 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Din, Listen to MTB. His streamers may be big enough to be seen from space, but them big suckers catch fish. Just don't let one hit you! Quote

What size of mono do you suggest? appreciate the tips! Quote
