Barry, you are my kind of guy! It's okay if if don't look perfect at first, just take a torch to it and burn it into submission boys!! I love it.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Dan, good luck with it.

[@protopiper5567]

Best one I’ve seen yet on the KZbin’s! Thanks

[@Thefeatherbender]

Nice and easy!

[@rivaking4569]

I wish that I would have seen this video before salmon and steelhead season. I will definitely be using this technique later this fall. Cheers

[@harryjoesather6539]

very cool and good use of things

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Joe!

[@PhantomJM]

I particularly liked the advice to use a lighter to clean up the egg. I used this technique on my first glo bug and it came out great.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Good stuff Jon!

[@flyrodhiker8326]

Very nice sir, well done!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Why thank you FRH.

[@reserrvoirman]

I like it, unique!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Stan.

[@chriswalport2979]

Great video. How many strands for Like a size 14 or 16 hook..? Thanks for Any help..

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Chris, not sure, never tied them that small!

[@Thecryptidcamper]

Anyone have any information on how to use this on a fly rig I’ve been fishing for steelhead, but can’t figure out how to get the yarn down to the steelhead on my fly rod. Guess I have to switch to the spin reel which I don’t want to do lol

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Andy, you can attache a Tungsten bead to the hook first before you make the yarn egg!

[@Thecryptidcamper]

@@Thefeatherbender thank you for that I’m looking into it now

[@Thefeatherbender]

@@Thecryptidcamper Please let me know how you get on!

[@DanielRodriguez-us7bt]

What thread is this? I am using a thread or other threads that cannot be pulled as tight as seen in the video

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Daniel, its Dyneema 55, if you can't get that GSP 50 will also do.

[@FlyRiderFishing]

I'm seriously struggling acquiring plastic straws here in Europe since I think they don't even sell these here anymore 😂 guess it could work with reusable straw just as well? 🤔

[@Thefeatherbender]

It works perfectly with a reusable straw, clear plastic is the best so you can see what is going on.

[@trails4all]

I use a writing pen with guts and ends removed

[@Schajorix]

do they sink without a tungsten pearl ?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Mario, No if you would like a Glow bug egg that sinks you have to add weight in one way or another.

[@Schajorix]

@@Thefeatherbender thank you for the video and the info .

[@lars9415]

Monster hooks on tiny eggs? I wonder about: why does everyone on KZbin use these monster big hooks for these small, tiny eggs? They disturb the smootness of the eggs surface and tend to snag on the bottom. I prefer to mount two windings of Lead wire on a bent hook size 16, so the egg will almost completely hide the tiny hook. The lead will position the hook to guarantee a upright Position in water , which counts for less snagging- its mostly forgotten, that the physics , weight and streaming behavior of Flies in the water is crucial for successful tackle.

[@webb-cast1030]

We use them for fish that would straighten out a a size 16 hook every time. In spring Great Lakes steelhead fishing, I have even straightened out the exact hook he is using.
