Nice! I just started tying a tarpon slider for our laid up tarpon. First time spinning up deer hair. Will be interested to see how I can improve it.

Hi Martyn, great video thanks. I've just subscribed. I hadn't seen the ethafoam ball tied that way before. Do you think there are any pros / cons in the ball type pattern like this as opposed to the top hat design where the foam seems to sit right down in the surface film?

I fish a lot of wire for toothy fish. I’ve adopted the improved overhand loop knot at the fly end and the perfection loop at the line end. Both of those leave the tag ends facing away from the direction of stripping. I’ve found that greatly reduces the amount of sea grass, etc. that gets fouled on the wire knots.

Hey, Martyn. Great video, and great rendition of the Rhody Flatwing. I knew Bill Peabody. He was an absolute gentleman and as a fly tier probably didn’t get the recognition he deserved in his day. I’m glad people like you are keeping his work alive for the times. He was also very generous. He gave me, among other things, an industrial-size spool of his pearl Bodi Braid. If you give me your mailing address in Japan I’d be happy to send you some. Take care.
