Mostly the same (guts) but a little different (dressing). I have a bunch of goat that I rarely, if ever use. The back 2 segments are my standard tie (some of you who got a 3 section single in the giveaway will see this). I added some of that glow in the dark flashabou just cause I think it looks cool. I have no idea if it makes any sort of difference or not. But also, in addition to the eyes up front, I tied a veil of goat over my foremost bucktail. Swim test tomorrow....in hopes of luring that 4'+ tank I've seen a couple of times on my not so secret lake.

Cheers!

I always like doing my eyes (if I do them) like that vs how I had to do them on mine with the goat veil. They're definitely way more aesthetically pleasing....

Love the concept of the towel bar and S hooks for hanging your scissors and hackle pliers!

Great Looking tie. I watched the video last night while eating dinner thinking to myself....."damn I need to tie some of those"!

This may be the motivation I needed. Dressed Irons is also one of my favorite Youtube channels. Lots of great info there...

Very nice Lou.
With smaller hooks, that would be a great polychaete worm imitation.

Hope these draw some fishy attention in October.

Yes! Also, that bead rack is brilliant!

Thanks Brian, these things take forever to tie. Getting to the 5th junction I'm like "what am I doing with my life?"
