Hi there
I like tying my buzzers both with and without a coating on the bodies. I prefer Sally Hansens " Hard as Nails" over epoxy, as I find it thinner. Then I can control the amount of coats for thickness and weight.Though I mostly use bead heads to get the flies down in the zone. Why wait for that slow sinking fly when I could be catching a lunker?
Uncoated bodies last about 4 or 5 fish and then their usually too chewed up and need replacing.
