Awesome stuff. That rubber-leg-tie-intrick is super neat!

[@redshaftedflicker]

Your technique for tying on rubber legs is genius, plus this one looks like it hunts especially when the fish need a lil coaxing.

[@ryankeyes7754]

Sorry for the late response.....I really enjoy tying with the mongoose. One of the best vises out there in my opinion. As for the leaving leaving two hooks on an articulated streamer....I always cut off the front hook. The times that I've caught fish with both hooks it really "meshes" the fish up. I find that the fish attack the streamer at the tail (trying to wound the bait fish). When practicing "catch and release" it's always best to use one hook....to reduce stress on the fish.

Cool so nice

[@redshaftedflicker]

I picked up some great tying techniques from you, thanks a ton! I liked how you tied in your sili legs and your technique for the collar. Fish on!

[@BrosephRussell]

I can't wait to tie some of these up they are awesome looking

[@seanmooney3907]

Excellent tie. I got a couple of good tips, including the way to wrap rubber legs easier than ever before. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you and have a great Thanksgiving. Sean

im not an articulated streamer fan...i am though a slumpbuster huge fan...i saw your video and new this pattern without a doubt was gonna be worth tying...by far myself and 2 die hard fishing buddies have just layed the smack down on soooooo many really big browns on this pattern its unbelievable...many times we got no action on a slumpbuster but as soon as we change flies to this one you immediately realize the fish want it..i realize the video is 6 years old now but im posting my thoughts regardless...we have done many hours of underwater video for different species of fish but mostly trout and my findings are also mentioned by other guys who fish streamers alot like kelly gallop..the so called "short strike' i hear alot couldnt be farther from the truth...especially with trout..many times i saw big trout come out from there holding lies and ambush points to violently just ram the streamer as it got too close to there position..im not sure but i think they do that to try and wound the prey but cant be certain..this it what the angler feels or even sees and not hooking the fish they think its a short strike but its not..when they commit to eating it theres no doubt what so ever that they engulf the prey head first! they do this every single time...they never attempt to eat bait fish by the tail...when they commit to eating it it is taken head first always and thats what results most times with a hooked fish especially on the smaller stinger hook that can move freely...a large long shanked hook by itself when a trout takes it head first can result in quite a few lost fish as the hook torques itself and can come free...the stinger hook simply cant do that and it results in many more fish brought to the net...hope at least a few guys read this and it makes sense to them but everyone will have there own opinion and i know i have mine...you did an excellent job on tying the pattern..not sure if its your design but it doesnt matter either way...they do take a little time to tie but this fly is an absolute must for any trout fisherman who fishes streamers...

Nice, up to the last whip finish. Tying atop the sloping cone will result in the thread eventually sliding off the cone. Whip finish instead behind the cone.

[@redek00]

Beautiful fly, thanks for the great videos.

[@grigri077]

i appreciate this trick for find the right lenght of the rear hook (at 6:54) very nice fly

[@feathersandstreamsoutdoors638]

Nice fly!

[@seanmooney3907]

great tie, I am wondering how you like that mongoose vise? I was looking at one just last night online. Haven't taken the plunge yet. I don't understand why, when tying with two hooks, it is not okay to leave the hook on the first shank in the fly? I hope you know what I am asking. I tied a bunch of articulated and never cut the front hook off. Not fished yet but I would think two hooks would be an advantage, No? All the best, Sean

[@christopherheck3316]

Great fly! Have you ever tied them for steelhead? Looks like a great leech pattern to swing for them.

[@simonjonsson7092]

im a beginer but i love to tie this fly going to try them here i sweden soon made som in olive Brown and red. are thy good for rainbow and sea trout?

[@mauricebrown9094]

is the stinger hooks size you used a 1/0 ????

[@FlyFishingwithRWK]

He is my dad!

[@williambower2458]

Sick streamer !

[@jacksonkeyes431]

Hi DAD!!!!!

[@brianajab-q2f]

Cool

[@brianfleury5935]

This is my go to fly. The action can't be matched. Can go down to 8. Need another critter with shorter hair to be zonkered to get to a size 10 think?

[@bradcorrea3]

For shorter fibers for a size 10 you may want to try and find a mink pelt and cut zonker strips.

[@MrJewbale]

why do you cut off the front hook? would it be okay if you didn't?

[@brianhansen67]

wondered about this as well. Maybe single hook stream regs or to keep from hooking it's self?
