I like the concept and the pattern. What is glitter thread and where do you get it?
>>>I like the concept and the pattern. What is glitter thread and where do you get it?<<<
I use Flashabou as a wrap for a lot of flies rather than thread. It is bright, and it shines, makes a beautiful fly, and is a real attractor.
I like the concept, I get glitter thread from Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s or Michal’s. I usually use hard as nails for the coating, but do like the idea of knot sense or clear cure goo coating. This pattern gives the fish something different to look at.
Jo Ann’s Fabrics has a brand of glitter thread called Sulky… at $7 bucks a pop for 250 yards in many ‘fly tying’ colors.
I believe
a good body substitute for the pattern that is
shown how to tie is to use RainBow Flash. And
it looks like a real good fish catcher too.
I try a little glitter nail polish on old patterns and have had some success
Nice pattern, is a killer on weather shallows, I use this pattern over all in spring season
Where can I purchase glitter thread?
