I prefer the full foam head; floats a little better and splats a lot more. On anything smaller, I’d use 1mm foam for it.

hook - Dai Riki 730 #6
thread - Uni 6/0 tan
butt/shellback/head - 2mm foam tan
rib - tying thread (doubled)
body - dubbing tan
wing - deer hair
legs - medium rubber brown
indicator - 1mm foam orange

Regards,
Scott

Javelina hair. There’s synthetic imitation you can get and I’ve seen where people color corded white thread to imitate it. But the real thing is super cool. Relatively rare material to find, but you can track it down.

You know, with all the javelina and wild pigs in Texas, its a wonder someone hasn't marketed the hair yet ..

I'm starting to wonder if we need a good tyer's thread and a bad tyer's thread... Some of the flies in here are works of art! ;-)
