Thats an insane technique. Thank you my good man

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Ben, and it works just great!

[@PESCAACTIVA]

I am perfect with this the fish will fall round, greetings from Peru and long live the fish.

[@bdr1968]

Wow, stunning pattern. Thank You for the video.

[@Thefeatherbender]

No problem, thanks Brent.

[@scotsmaninthephilippines1659]

Nice one and a bit of a change too. I like the way you utilized alternative materials when you can. Anything bought from a tackle dealer always attracts a higher price!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Scotsman.

[@crickhowellparagliding]

Love it, and the shrimp! Please can you link a supplier for the tube, I can't find it!

[@truthsower4560]

It looks just like a real sand eel! Great job and thank you for the post!

[@reubenbenreuben3258]

It really works i try one at pismo beach and I caught a big flounders fish. thank again. Nice teaching nd good videos ata lo mavater

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hey Ruben thats great! Thanks!

[@stuartjones7903]

I can tell you this Mr BOC you must be THE most innovative effective fly tyer on the web . The end result after the colouring totally completes the creation,totally .I wonder if this would work in a freshwater lake after trout although I doubt it as i have never seen a eel sand or otherwise in any Welsh lake

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Stuart. Not sure its just to give it a go!

[@FlyTyer1948]

There is a floating version (with foam cylinder inserted in a wider but shorter version of the same tubing)tied in smelt colors used for salmon in the Penobscot River in Maine, USA. Brook trout will also take it.

[@Thefeatherbender]

@@FlyTyer1948 Yeah thats right, you can also put a few strips of lead wire in the body, I have even tied them with free rolling brass beads in the body, so it not only ads weight but also rattles.

[@Mrfluefiske]

Well done Mr. Love the pattern Barry. Great tutorial. It´s so nice to se you making sbs tutorials again. All the best, Eivind Berulfsen.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Eivind, thanks, yes i am making one per day now so many more to come. We'll have to try and get together before winter sets in and do some sea trout fishing...

[@Mrfluefiske]

That would be nice. Ringer deg i høstferien.

[@ibrahimozsarac4905]

Really awesome, great workmanship, bravo sir, by the way, what is the name of the pipe material you used? Is it silicone?

[@bryanramsey5374]

What size of e-z body tubing did you use in your sand eel video and how do you specfy the option with lateral lines ?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks, I use 3mm with and without lateral line.

[@bryanramsey5374]

@@Thefeatherbender think I have seen a site showing this product a few of which have the letters LL behind the colour options which surely denotes Lateral Line options . Will check if 3mm is mini or small and for supplier in UK . Thank you Barry

@@Thefeatherbender niiice on fly or can you spin/ lure them ?

[@tinkmarshino]

ya know back about 50 years ago I use to think i tied my own flies for several years and got fairly good at it.. but after watching some of your patterns I am thinking what I did was tie up feathers on hooks and caught the fish as they were laughing themselves to tears just by accident.. thanks Barry.. do you sell your flies.. I would love to have one of those.. carry on your great.. I appreciate your talent immensely..

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks, its been a bit of a journey....

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice , thanks for sharing

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks for watching Mike.

[@bobfowler9522]

Excellent pattern - cannot wait to try it in Maine USA for stripers. In the very last part of the video, it appears you added a thin black line along the side before adding the green on the topside. Do you have any suggestions on how to did the black line and got it to be so even and yet solid (in one of your usual clever ways I assume)?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Bob, there is a thin side line of thread woven into the E-Z Body tube so when you run a marker over it you get the perfect line.

[@randellgribben9772]

very nice fly..i have yet to salt water fly fish... but in a hour drive ish..i can get to pt. reyes, and bodega bay to try it

[@Thefeatherbender]

You should Randell, let me know how you get on!

[@jesscarnes6714]

My boyfriend and I love your videos! You're a huge inspiration for his ties. If you don't mind me asking what do you use to shoot your videos? I know that you use professional gear. Always curious haha 😄

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Jess, thanks so pleased that you are enjoying them. I use a Canon Eos1D Mk VI for all my filming and various studio lighting, four lights in all and a nuetural grey background that I colour with gel filters over the background light. Hope this helps...

[@byrnsey1984]

Hi Barry, you make it look so easy. Just wondering where you get 1.5mm tape eyes from as I can't seem to find them. Also you use UV resin, would the Sally Hansen hard as nails work? Many thanks

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi, Thanks. The tape eyes came from Hareline dubbing many years ago, but I guess they still have them. Yeah, it would work but you will have to wait for it to dry.

[@ivykat9009]

Love your channel and just subbed. Do you by chance use any breathing protection from the UV resin?

Thanks Ivy, no I don't I use it very little...
