The key is not to use too much. And don’t try to over work it. It will smooth it self out as it dries. Enjoy!

Neat stuff, I wonder if it’s any good?

It works great! Use it anywhere you’d use epoxy. No mixing, no fumes, won’t turn yellow. Look for it on our website under Fly Tying Materials!

I’m new to fly fishing, and I have a question.. when I hook a fish, should i keep a strain on the line of the rod the whole time, and reel at the same time?

“Strain” isn’t the right word. Tension, yes. Never let the fish have slack if you can help it. Goes for any tackle, not just the flyrod.

Hi! I don’t do fly fishing. ButI use fly lures to catch bass. How do people who do fly fish cast their flys without any weight?

In regualr fishing you’re casting a heavy lure attached to an almost weightless line. But in fly fishing you aren’t really casting the fly. You’re casting a heavy line attached to a nearly weightless lure (the weight of the lure is more or less incidental).

Looks like a great looking fly! I’m going to Kona, HI in a month… would that fly be durable enough for bonefish, trevally, & other big trophy fishes? Great video!

While nothing will hold up in the long run to a toothy critter this is a very durable material.
