More Yarn Ties

[Pup]

I really enjoy tying these on weedless sproat hooks. Used Premier LashMax eyelash yarn to tie both of them. Black felt cord comprises the legs of the Black-N-Purple Crawler pictured below. Its hook is a 3/0. The Electric Chicken Rat beneath it has a 1/0 hook.

These may be field tested on fly rods, in addition to light spinning, as I now possess 8-wt. and heavier rods in my collection.

How's your luck with the small wiggle eyes??? I bought a bag of them and use Duco cement to attach them but haven't given them the water test yet.

Have you had any problems with them?? or fished them yet??

I've used googly eyes many times before, but always on jig heads that were covered by 2-part epoxy. They've worked out well. The epoxy would pull the paint from the jig head and make it appear as though eye sockets were formed on the head. It also sealed the eyes from water.

I'll have to give the creatures a try this spring. Their eyes are attached with Loctite "Gel Control" Super Glue and aren't coated with epoxy. I expect them to become waterlogged and get knocked off of the dumbbells eventually, that is, if I fish them regularly.

Those bad boys should work, especially on the 8wt!

Thanks for the info Pup. I used Duco cement but tried to keep it on the bottom, I have a two part epoxy mix I'll try on some tommorrow.

Those two jigs are just as amazing as your other yarn jigs. Awesome work and thanks for sharing the pics.
