Had fun making cork bass poppers so I decided to try a smaller version for panfish.
The dremel tool ended up working waaay better than a belt sander….and I had a few glued up fairly quickly.
The rattle can varnish was kinda clogged so it was more like a fire hose than a fine spray and it blasted the copic colors all to hell. Oh well…it’ll be interesting to find out if the little guys truly care if the fly has eyes
and I tried a different weed guard method. Hopefully I’ll get em wet later this week

I’ve been watching the weather and thinking the same thing!
I’ve been a good boy all week and got my Honey Do’s done, so I was planning on Tuesday but you got me thinking that I’ve earned Monday, too
Fazon if anyone’s interested.
and here’s hoping your Easter lunch crowd isn’t too stressful

I haven’t posted any ties for a while, this is my ‘relatively indestructible’ raccoon. I’ve used Kapok for the body and the top is aero dry fibre, a hollow synthetic so these should float nicely in the film and being synthetic last longer than deer hair for sure and also I suspect foam re Norm F’s nice tie last week.

Thanks. I tried out their kapok dubbing, liked it, and bought a bunch of colors.
