AHREX - (UN) Holy Diver - tied by Andreas Andersson

[@joeduca8582]

True professional! Everything laid out, very methodical, no wasted steps. Awesome designer too. Excellent tutorial, thank you. Any underwater footage like his Delivery Man to see it swim?

[@Podobed]

How can 6 people give this a thumbs down.....unreal. Andreas is a great guy. This is an instant classic.

[@borsey]

A masterpiece by a true artisan. The sparse use of materials amazes me. Great work & tutorial. Love the jazz & r/b background music.👍

[@rplecker]

Off the hook dude! Your skills with hair are unbelievable.

[@lylebeckwith8095]

Damn...you make that look so....EASY! I don't know how you get the reverse ties so well distributed so quickly. And...LOVE the magnet to hold the trailer hook out of the way. Why didn't I think of that? No more bloody articulated flies!!! :)

[@skylarl5545]

Finally! Been waiting for a tying video for this one. Awesome pattern

[@joeschatz6617]

So clean and precise

[@bio-bridge4252]

Love all the pike flys you guys kill it keep it up an meny thanks to this dude in video maater od is own

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Great tie , my favorite in the past few years tying articulating streamers . AKs book is a must have if you intend to tie a lot of flies :-)

[@vincegriff1245]

Hey Mike, what book are you referring to? I would love to take a look at it

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Production fly tying by AK Best , great book but remember it’s from 1989 but still pertinent today . The best book in my opinion on fly tying is The Fly Tiers Benchside Reference to techniques and dressing by Ted Leeson and Schollmyer absolutely must have . Have fun :-)

[@vincegriff1245]

@@mikekuczynski1552 Heck yeah, i'll take a look! Thanks a lot!

[@johnkillinger7078]

Great instructional video!

[@jayv7933]

Great tie!

[@benjensen6728]

What size are the hooks and the shanks? I don’t tie with shanks often but after seeing this video I can’t miss out on tying this streamer! Awesome fly pattern and color combo!

[@hgera000]

Awesome pattern. Was just wondering what size hooks and shanks are used? thank you

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks

[@TheDimas1987]

Finally! 💪 Great tying and amazing work with the deer hair! 👌 What was sizes used by hooks and fish spines?

[@samstewart3103]

Incredible precision man! I had a couple questions. What deer hair comb and burning tool are you using? Thanks so much. Love the videos. :)

[@andyslawson7296]

Very nice! What is the material used for the reverse ties?

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Thanks - it is craft furze uses, a great product for wings :-)

[@KruxLabs]

Sick tie! Thanks for sharing the pattern. Who makes or how can I make the cool material clip you use to stage your craft fur before tying it on?? Thanks

[@joeduca8582]

Brendan Haren, that's Chicone's Material & Fly Prep Station by Hareline.

[@KruxLabs]

Joe Duca thanks man!!

[@joeduca8582]

@@KruxLabs you're welcome.

Actually, no it's not. I made it myself and have been using them for many years.. I think I got the idea from AK Best's book Production Fly Tying (which was published in 1989). However its still a very good and practical idea that helps both speed and consistency but its certainly not new. 2 pieces of wood, some sturdy foam with cuts and some epoxy..paint or varnish if desired. Done. All the best/ Andreas

[@joeduca8582]

@@a13andersson thank you for correcting me! I thought it was a great idea too when I saw it on your table, for the very reasons I mentioned in my first comment on the tutorial. The next day I saw a review of new tying products and a prep station by Hareline was featured, similar to yours. That's why I jumped the gun and told Brendan Haren what I thought it was... Sorry, I guess I got excited after seeing Chicone's name mentioned on a product, seeing you use something similar in a video, and reading about both of you in the last chapter of Mike Valla's Tying & Fishing Bucktails. I admire and respect all three of you guys for you tying skills and knowledge of the sport. So for my original question, any footage of this (Un) Holy Diver in action? All the best to you and thanks!

[@Stratollac]

Great bug! Would it be possible to move the material list to the description instead of flashing it up for a few seconds at the beginning of the video? It would be so much more useful...

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Great idea Randy, I will post the description at the end also - we have a lot of other videos in the pipeline, they will have description in the start and the end then :-)

[@ScottLarson199m]

Pause button?

[@marcelmoure3504]

Brand from the craft fur?

[@ahrexhooks3652]

Hi Marcel, it is Craft Fur from Rainy's :-)

[@redshaftedflicker]

Love the design and precision, can't stand craft fur due to its low durability. Regardless, ace tying!
