Description

this lovely little attractor unit can be tied quickly, while baked or buzzed, in a variety of colors to humiliate picky trout. It works because most lazy fucks buy cheap parachute adams dries, which trout quickly shun and cruelly mock. This shows them a new type of tasty pastry.

Tying Process

stick a hook in your vise, wrap on thread, add a tail first, then the poly wing, then three wraps of hackle. Don't worry about perfection, trout don't give a shit how pretty your flies are. The 136D thread is thick enough to add texture and "buggy segmentation" all on it's own. It doesn't win beauty contests...but it catches trout. try some in 14 and 12 too. You're welcome.
