That's a really cool fly.

[@glennplatvoet7111]

Best one I've seen nice toy im impressed 👍

[@kennethsanders963]

I went with my jewellers loop pliers instead of that tool you used to make shanks .(I bought my pliers at Michael's).$19.00 CANADIAN. Sculpin feather also works will(Kelly Galloup)

Great tutorial, very well done! 🤙🏻👊🏼

[@johnnicholson4862]

Beautiful, Sir, thank you.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

I like this guy! Why spend 80 bucks on scissors when you can get a damn good pair of fiskars for 10 bucks!

[@kaminskiflies8784]

Good stuff! I'll definitely be tying a few of these up for Bass!

[@eugenpeptanaru4877]

Mencanta mui bien gracias amigo

[@DallasLopez1]

I'd honestly like to see how you make that tapered brush at the beginning of the video

[@robertcornelius3514]

Question: These are very pretty flies/lures. Do people actually fish with these or are they wall hangers?

[@seanbeck1370]

I fish with these regularly. They are killer for any and every predator fish.

[@christurner3253]

I need a picture of where exactly you used the bolt cutters to cut the tool to get rid of the loop.

[@davidcross188]

Fantastic

[@dougclark2711]

Where did you get your fox tail?

[@caryverhalen]

Nice!

[@CaliBassin]

Where do you get your tails at?

[@crappygamertag6128]

Do you find this fly to cast well?

[@jackallen7557]

What shanks have to be long and which ones have to be short?

[@FishChaseFlies]

The first shank has to be long enough for the feather tail and the first fox wrap. The next one is short and they get progressively longer as you get closer to the hook. I just eyeball it

[@tannerlambert7151]

How well does this work with buck tail

[@Belbivdevoe]

Buck tail would be great if you could make some brushes. Otherwise it would be a nightmare if you have to do a loop each time

[@mitchstuursma5221]

What vise do you use

[@DallasLopez1]

That's a stonfo Kaiman

[@kriscircenis4487]

Where did you get that whole tail of fox?

[@FishChaseFlies]

eBay or amazon

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

got one from fly fish food for a good price.

[@Noname-dd6ly]

Well done, great work! but...but... Replacing the polar fox with kanekalon or congo is exactly the same thing...Using polar fox for fly tying is an aberration today...You have to know how to evolve in the right direction in 2022...Isn't a fly fisherman above all a nature lover ?

[@caryverhalen]

What? The fox is dead. As are the deer for bucktail. Sportsmen are the best conservationists on the planet.

[@fishingwithchris1357]

Have you never learned about overpopulation?
