albannachxcuileag Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 These are a few variations that I tied up for winter Rainbows using Black UV Straggle Fritz on the abdomen, mini dumbbell eyes with a coat of glass paint on the ends and tied on a #14 Partridge Big Mouth Nymph hook. Tailing on most is marabou but I have a couple with black bear hair as well. This hook makes an absurdity of sizing as it appears to look like a short shanked #8!

albannachxcuileag Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 OOOOOOO!!!!! I HAVE UV FRITZ!!! I CAN MAKE THESE!!!! I know you have! This is standard straggle UV from Veniards, the mini dumbbells you can pick up in most places, these ones are only 2.5mm diameter and 6mm overall length. Silver is the best for this lure. I am going to send you some stuff along with your prize, flies, lures etc that you can have fun with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not back yet but they are currently in the post as arkle sent them out on Tuesday. Patience, lassie, patience and all will be worthwhile. BTW, what is the smallest size that you tie too?
