A ball point pen with its guts taken out is what I use to pack deer hair and I can pack it really tight
I have been tying hair bugs for 50yrs and this is my favorite. I have a couple of comments. I usually tie in a red band of chinelle between the body and tail. Some of the synthetic hairs may make the bug more durable for the tail. I usually put a drop of head cement at the base of each batch of deer hair as it is snugged on the hook. Again for durability. I use pliobond glue on the face of the popper to make it more loud when popped. Leave the face as tied for a different effect when fished. I am happy to see you put up this excellent instruction on tying a great ole classic of Tappleys. Thank you
Finally some bass patterns.
Great work Tim. I love these simple flies for my personal boxes
Good morning Tim! That was a lot of good advice. Can’t wait to give this one a go👍
Can’t tell you how many of your videos and Kelly galloup tutorials I’ve watched but you two make it look so easy spinning deer hair
GSP thread makes spinning hair SO much easier!! I’d definitely recommend trying it!
@@josephh957 yeah that’s what I use 🤷♂️
@@turner427 and you still run into issues with the hair spinning?
@@josephh957 I mean, yeah I find it to be a lot more difficult than how they show it. Getting it to set around the hook and lock into place and not keep spinning sometimes. I can do it, it just takes a couple sets sometimes. It just does not look as effortless when I do it is all I was saying
@@turner427 Thats fair, getting the hair to spin without jamming the hook gap can be maddening for sure. I started using Veevus GSP and it seemed to make things a tad easier. But to be fair, the fish has no idea how many attempts it took, they just eat it and thats all that matters 🤣 Best of luck with your tying!!
You can also hold the fly over the steam from a kettle or something like that, helps the fly hold its shape when it gets wet and the hair also holds up to the blade a bit better, which makes the trimming process a tad easier.
Cool, good excuse to do my first deer hair spinning.
Im seriously addicted to tying deer hair flies!
One of my favorites!
Interesting one🤔 I'm sure it'll work for trout too🙌🏼
I like it nice and simple Bass don't care 👍👍
neat bug, thanks
Cool
OK, I want to sit down with you, a deer tail, and a cold beverage and have you educate me on which parts to use and when.
