I make lots of furled-tail flies and jigs of all manner and what I have found is that, for the "Ned"-type vertical presentation to be extra-active through the motion of the tail, and at its most effective underwater, some form of buoyancy needs to be added to the tail. Fortunately, when the tail is being built, it's easy to add either (a) a sliver of foam macaroni; (b) booby eyes; or (c) floating bead(s) to create active flotation on the hind segment. This is not needed in the spin/rubber world, given Ned-style heads rest with the hook shank, and bait, vertical.
i have tied worms with this twist technique - but lately using heavier dumbells - can you do a video on casting the heavy wts...thanks in advance - 6-8wt rod with fluorocacrbon tippet/leader... opst commando and razor line is my set up - but not getting the distance i want with heavy ones. -- thanks again - nice video
Thank you! You can use any chenille but the water wick paired with the hydro hackle is what really makes it work. The combination of materials is what traps the air bubbles and helps tip it up.
@@snakeriverfly7331 Awesome. I’ll see what I can find here in Australia. If you have more underwater footage can you post it. I can see lots of applications for this fly. Cheers
That synthetic hackle braided in really takes the Ned rig fly to the next level. Looks sick
Combining two braids is genius!
Thanks for sharing 💪
This is a creative concept for a bass pattern. Nice work!
Great fly. Awesome tip with the hand sanitizer to untack the resin.
Hand San is also great for getting tape/bandaids off of hairy arms.

Sick bug!! I’ll definitely be giving these a try. Thanks for sharing 👊

We have some stuff in the works! Thanks
Awesome fly bro, new to tying and now a new sub. Any suggestions for some cheap materials to tie this?
Brilliant fly.
Is there something special about that chenille that makes it float and stand upright or will any chenille work the same?
Cheers

Rocking bug! Love it.
Most effective when used on a dry line? Like a floating line or what did you mean?
Yes floating line is what we were referring to.
Bad ass.
