Fly Tying a Squirmy Wormy by Mak

[@michaelnorman4476]

I really like the way that looks with the bead versus just wrapping the worm with thread.

@@michaelnorman4476 thank you so much ☺️

Very clever way to tie the squirmy. Thank you Mak 👍🎣

[@Makflies]

@@kevinjtoner Thank you so much Kev☺️☺️☺️

Your videos are so enjoyable. I have struggled with squirmy worm materials. They literally get destroyed by most glues. The thread bed and that thread trick to pull it thru the head is a game changer. Now I can't wait to tye these now. Soooo many color options with different beads and worm material. THANK YOU for restoring my confidence. Nick in Redfield Arkansas

Can’t go wrong fly, fish love worms.

Nice work, @Makflies , great trick with the thread through the bead. I noticed you didn't use your usual UV laser! I have also gone with the regular UV light when tying with squirmy material. I've found that the laser can actually 'melt' the material. Great stuff!

KISS - DRIVES THE PURIST WILD ! BRILLIANTLY TIED !

A very interesting video, thanks for sharing it with us. I tie a very similar "fly" however I just use a red rubber band because it costs virtually nothing catches plenty of fish and it's very durable.

Regular fly tying UV resins will crack after a short period oftime. Loon's UV Knot Sense is more pliable and lasts longer.

@@Mark-cn6em thank you for the info Mark, 👍👍👍👍👍

Never fished a squirmy Arshad I suppose never say never 🐟🎣😂😂

[@Makflies]

@@lawrencemacd63 they are very effective Lawrence, you must try☺️

[@50Squirrel]

Great video! Interesting tying ideas. I had been cautioned in use of super glue & UV resins on squirmy worm material. Apparently it will deteriorate the material?

[@Makflies]

@@50Squirrel thank you sir. I don’t think it will deteriorate the material ☺️☺️

[@scottasbill6094]

@@Makflies I don't use glue on squirmy worms I have found that various glues and resins will dissolve the material. I whip finish.

[@Makflies]

@@scottasbill6094 TO BE honest I do the same, I lock the bead with thread :)

[@waynesnelley3900]

Try Locite super glue.

[@50Squirrel]

@@waynesnelley3900 I use Loctite super glue but have avoided it on this material because I have heard that it deteriorates the material… I will give it a try

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

Cool way to make a squirmy. But if you skipped the uv part, then you can actually replace the material after the fish " tear it up"!!

[@Makflies]

@@sigurdurmarolafsson4183 thank you friend, I actually do that for myself, it’s just for the video I have added uv☺️☺️

[@chjin2ne]

OK!! Thanks video... I really like the Squirmy Worm, but its durability isn't great. The ones I've tied keep becoming soft and breaking apart. Is there a way to make them more durable?

[@Makflies]

@@chjin2ne Thank you so much friend. I am sorry friend this material is not durable it’s just how it’s made

[@Mrfluefiske]

Man this fly is ugly, but so effective though. Great video as always. Thanks Mak.

I've been pulling the worm through the bead with a bobbin threader. It seems faster for me.

[@Makflies]

@@normehlers4503 I know but sometimes it cuts off the material.
