So I allow my 11 y/o son to use "our" tying stuff and he enjoys the craft. I must admit his wolly bugger are getting pretty good and he ties a marabou streamer he calls a "backtracker" that have been effective on panfish & small bass. the other Day I went down to our tying are and he could not wait to show me his new creation. Seems he could not figure out what stripped goose quill biots were for, so he used them "his" way. I can imaging throwin this guy in the pond and see all the bluegills scatter in a panic!!! This thing looks MEAN!!! We got a good laugh out out it. He now knows that Biots are not for palmering!!!!! Can't blame him for experimenting!!!
Here are his "backtrackers" - His own creation!!!
