You tie a nice blackfish fly mate. The cabbage one is a good imitation for some of the broad strand weed we get but isnt imitating cabbage weed. Green cellophane for that job. I used to make them like this , just two broad leaf pieces tied infrom a pinch point under the eye. I then passed the point through both "leaves" which replicated how I used real cabbage when bait fishing. The " leaves" of cellophane were roughly the size of a ten cent piece. Thought you might be interested.

mark rigg thanks mate. Does the cellophane go soft and lose its colour though?

[@markrigg6623]

@@hookedonfliesaustralia8570 It depends on the quality of the cellophane. I haven't done this for 20 years and I remember the quality varied considerably. Some used to be a bit brittle and would tear off fom the tie in point. So I had to take quite a few on an outing. My mate bought one really good batch that I remember and it was noticeably more durable. Realistically, the type like you've made were a lot more practical, imitating the cabbage was just a challenge sort of thing when I was tying lots of Saltwater flies. So I got it to work but I would just use conventional ones these days. Haven't done it in a while, must get back into it. Cheers mate.

How would u fish this under an indicator or what do u find to be the best?

Thanks for the very clear instruction and good video. Could you please provide the list of the tools you used and where to source them from, thanks.

[@hookedonfliesaustralia8570]

Hi & Thanks for the comment. Tools are - Vise for holding the hook. Bobbin Holder for the thread. To tease out the material I use a Ice Cream stick with velcro hooks attached. The Epoxy is Solarez these days. All available at any Fly Shop such as BWC Flies or Beastbrushes.

Nice video! Cheers.

Are they for sale mate ?

[@tak35bne]

Mate a quick question, the CCG UV torch, what battery does it take?

[@hookedonfliesaustralia8570]

Hi Dave, They use 2 x 16340 rechargeable battery or a single 18650. really useful as I have two sets so I can swap when the charge gets low and keep tying.
