Hey...

I see in one of your picture it looks to b some sort of plastic.. and not glue...

Ive had a couple of those given to me once... and havent used them yet.. would you want them??
may have some egg yarn if your interested in that to...

Only reason I doing this is its taking up space in my tying room... And I cant tye eggs..

I cant use plastic or glue eggs where I fish..

The only egg patterns shown are either hot glue or egg yarn. No plastic. These aren't my patterns, they are the patterns of a very successful Erie tributary steelheader.

If you don't tie eggs, hold onto that egg yarn. I've got an excellent streamer pattern that is very unique and used egg yarn - I'll be posting instructions and a write-up soon.

I found the perfect egg tying solution. A friend passed along to me!
Find an old bic pen. I like the clear ones. Pull the pen part out and discard. Get a heavy braid fishing line or heavy mono to pull the egg yarn through the pen. Snip off about 1/4 inch out from end of the pen and leave the rest dangling out the other end. Now when you tie eggs all you have to do is get a stout egg hook, good thread and simply tie it in. Snip and repeat! It's the best thing since sliced bread!!!! No more trying to hold the yarn down nice and tight to the hook.

These pen bodies also make excellent half hitch tools for deer hair bugs as well as a decent packer.

Best Regards!
