Tulip Fabric Paint Eyes Casey Smartt's web site has great articles and videos. This is one of my favorites.

Visited FlyMasters of Indianapolis yesterday for a change of pace. Been tying things my way for quite some time and wanted exposure to some things new. So, I chose a class that taught me to tie some patterns for stream smallmouth. The first ones tied are called Murdich minnows. You can find...

Tied these with thoughts of river bass in my mind. They are fairly simple to tie. Painting the leather with glitter is fun. You can create a simple pattern that may remind you of a plastic worm from yesteryear. Or, leave it alone and just fish it. It's likely that the fish won't care. ;)...

Added my own personal touches to this 1/6-oz. Bomber Mini-Whacker from yesteryear after I replaced the swivel between the wire loop and blade. The original skirt was missing, so I replaced it. Its "replacement" is tied with Premier Yarn's LashMax. The split tail consists of Tandy Premium...

Tied two fire tail grubs this evening. Each weighs about 3/16 of an ounce and has a 2/0 bronze hook. Used Tulip Puffy Paint in purple and orange to color the tails.

Purchased some very good suede leather recently to create curly grub tails. It's brown colored and pliable. Makes an excellent 3.5 to 4-inch curly-tailed grub. The jig heads are painted with a "new-to-me" combination of powder paint. Can't wait to cast them into my local river. Materials...

Here's the link to six collectible vises for $100 @ Joe's Old Lures. Vises

Picked up this one over last weekend along with a slew of other rods. Its cork, seat, and bamboo are great, though it's missing a line guide from one of its tip sections. Have, possibly, a repaired ferrule as well. Do wish that the rod's condition was perfect, but wouldn't anyone? ;) Heddon...

Combined craft fur and marabou in a couple. Used Sulky Holoshimmer and trilobal polyester thread for the tie downs. A couple are full cut. Though, most are lean on material. Will see what the fish like this weekend. Headed to strip pit country due west of Indy.
