Bangin paint job!

Nice ties!!!!!

Plate - two ways you can do it, tie the marabou in by the tip and pull the fibers back as you wrap, tie the first off and then do the second. Or some steel head fly tyers will strip the fibers off the side of each feather, stack one on top of the feather and do the same thing.

Cool FM.....I thought that could be it but wondering if there was in tricks? seems straight forward.

 

[midnight]

Glad you all like em. Like Fatman says tie off the first color wait for it to dry and then tie in the second.

Paint is Super Glow White pp,Uv pp, all baked. Nail Art Finger Nail polish method. (Learned that from a tutorial on here) Tulip Paint eyes (Also from a tutorial on here). Then Head and eyes get a epoxy coating.


This was taken Sunday Feb 22, 30+ inches of ice yet -11 this morning. It will be a while B4 open water comes around here to try em out! This is a thousand acre lake with some nice crappies hitting.
