Polaris Flies video will easily take one through tying a fantastically iridescent baby bunker (assuming you are a tier — or practice Tying 101 and 102 some. This can easily be used for fresh and saltwater baitfish imitations. While I leave the final color choices of NEW Fly Tying Materials to you, POLARIS FLIES goes into many details. As youtube has a 10 minute time limit, I was forced to trim some off of the front to upload, and this might happen again until they get their director feature fixed. Remember to put a SMALL amount of super glue on the thread, as multi-layered materials are slick. This prevents some spinning of the materials on completion. Here again, remember not too much superglue! Many materials won’t dye, as they don’t really absorb water, they will suck up petrol-chemicals.

What type of hook is that ?

Chemically sharpened saltwater, permasteel so it’ll rust if snapped off, unlike stainless. Eagle Claw (who was the first to chemically sharpen, or dip in acid).

That is a lead dot I experimented with, same as lead tape which is cheaper. Just put on for weight as I say in the video.
