Nice tie! I bet you that the bass will devour this one anytime!
What hook did you use?

Pheatherz "welded" in place with Bug-Bond...
Amazing flies Peter. Nice job. Artsy-fartsy and very interesting...!!!!
These add much to what a guy can do at the vise if he wants to. I'd be afraid to fish 'em for fear of messing 'em up.
Well done.
Jeremy.
Thanks Peter, I also love the jaws of the vise. Nice flies indeed. I will try some of this soon. Do you use epoxy for the body?

I've tried all the readily available brands of light cured acrylics [LCA] and UV curing lights...
'been there, 'done that, 'got the T-shirt... I personally prefer Bug-Bond Original Formula w/ Pro tip...
this SBS is primarily intended to demonstrate a "technique" rather than to turn out a specific pattern...
the choice of hooks and colours is at the discretion of the vise monkey...
the only rule is to avoid gazing into the UV light...
other than that, there are no rules...
but I digress...

Pete,
Very nice SBS; thanks for posting.

Thanks for the tutorial. I was using the loon uv acrylic and will give it a try. I know that this acrylic has some tacky finish. It gets better after few min under the bright sun.
