Default Tying today

Did some tying today, nothing to fancy.
Miss my camera, ever since it bit the dust I have had to use my phone and just cannot get good quality pictures.

Cool pics, I've been doing the same, funny how the time flies when your tying.

That red chirony / blood worm looks like it would kick butt. Are you covering with UV resin? Try doing the same but in silver and red rib and a nickel tungsten bead. Killer!

Good to know, thanks. I have a couple of bottles of Rock Hard that should do the trick.

You inspired me in tying a couple more silvers:



My biggest complaint about the bought ones I had is that they all fell apart quickly. I'll see how my covered ones work overall against the non covered ones.

Thanks for the inspiration.
