[@billcorum2174]

Great video! I will be getting some craft fur next. 👌👏👏👏

[@slimjimmy5159]

Cool, I might try to make a creek chub with this

[@ProbablySkunked]

Maaaaan, for a minute there I thought you tied in an Advil Liquidgel to the top of that front hook shank

[@kabanchan5768]

must learn all this stuff !!

[@highlandtroutfishing5910]

Great fly, cheers

[@swordfish9921]

Def need these in my box!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice

[@dustinhinds1999]

Nice tie! Any issues with hook sets or keeping fish pinned with that scud weight mounted so low on the bend? Every time I wrap lead on the bend to achieve a good keel I get nervous if it's going to cost me fish.

[@SchultzOutfitters]

The best advice we can give is to use hooks that have large gaps and avoid crowding too much material towards the head. We haven't seen too many issues - only with smaller gaps

[@scottfreeman2914]

Was wondering the same. Cracking tie and nice clear video 🤙

[@Bassmastersalad]

The head is so hard 😂😂😂😂

[@gregg5303]

Enjoyed the vid, this is fly tying art! The changers that I have made have been of the Finesse variety. What is the capsule that you use on the head and is it to add bulk? Can you describe the set-up that you use to fish it? Additionally, do you have a preference toward weighted or unweighted streamers? Many thanks.

It’s a rattle In the description

[@maxhoniss7751]

Hi, When you said two full pieces of craft fur did you mean one white and one tan or two white and two tan?

[@SchultzOutfitters]

one tan and one white should do the trick

[@franksteiner7138]

New to fly tying so I apologize if this is a dumb question. Are there ever any issues of the fly coming apart where a cut shank is tied to a hook like in the video? I’m definitely not saying it isn’t a good method, just a curiosity question. A little bit of thread is all that could be holding that “50 winter belly tank of a fish. Thanks!

[@SchultzOutfitters]

Yes, that is a possibility so using a healthy amount of brushable glue is recommended

[@brycep7093]

I like to use the hobbylobby brand superglue in the thin formula it’s thinner than water and soaks into the thread forming a crazy strong bond.

[@dashippo]

It's a possibility but with tight wraps and glue It's unlikely. They're are several other ways of attaching tails or trailing hooks, personally I use articulation wire, I feel it gives better movement and I can double it over on the tie in.

[@brycep7093]

@@dashippoyea that’s what I do honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the hook would bend/snap before it came undone.

[@ericjuergensen6586]

Do you use the same size chenille for the whole fly?

[@SchultzOutfitters]

Yes, same size chenille typically or XL cactus/filler flash

[@TheEastBayAnglers]

what hook?

[@oscarambriz998]

Size for the back hook ?
