Thanks! I am trying. That is my nature- I obsess and try and figure everything out. I do notice and have to work on when I tie, I can't make things 100% even. I know that 100% perfection is probably #1 not necessary and #2 not possible, but the OCD in me likes things to be even, LOL! I just ordered some UV Knot Sense to use (put it on and run out side- LOL!)for building my heads. I like the look of the large eyes with the epoxy heads, but my wife is about to shoot me so I can't throw another chunk of money at the bigger bottle of the Loon UV Glue and Light.

Im the same way, just recently started tying and don't have much experience but the OCD in me will keep undoing the fly until its good.

Very nice deceiver.

Has anyone ever taken the rear hook off of your swimmers and attached a leader and fly to that? I have to be honest , I am almost ready to grab a wood dowl and dril out the center and use it as casting plug for the fly. In other words, I really just want to fish the fly but I don't want to get back into buying a fly rod,....any ideas?

rob I think I read something here about a casting egg. Maybe finchaser started the thread. Do a search. nice tie for your first time, great thread here thanks for sharing the beautiful work fellas.

Here are a couple more. The purple deceiver my Wife tied in the hackle feathers (one fell out, LOL! I don't think that one will last) and a simple baitfish pattern using EP fiber. I am not sure if the baitfish will last (at least the eyes) I super glued them on but not sure overall about it.

[robmedina]

sorry, I hope I am not annoying. But I trimmed my lil baitfish to make it look better and my wife has some spray glitter glue. I shot the top of my baitfish to give it more of a mullet look. I am curious how it will do in water.
