First yarn balls

[bythesea]

they might not be perfect yet but they will be before long.the hardest part for me was not bending the hell out of my bobbin while trying to keep my thread tight.

Nice work. I've caught a lot of steelhead on "not perfect" flies I tied. I'm convinced I'm the worlds worst fly tier. I'll be tying up my first yarn balls/glo bugs for winters this weekend.

the hardest part for me was not bending the hell out of my bobbin while trying to keep my thread tight.

I use kevlar thread for my egg patterns. With a few inches of thread out, I'll wind while I grip the bobbin and spool fully with my three smaller fingers to keep it from moving. I then hold the stem of the bobbin with my index finger and thumb. The hook will bend in half before my bobbin will even start to flex. The yarn stays tight and will not rotate around the hook when I'm done.

I see what you mean.this one's 6"long I wasn't sure if a shorter one might be easier to handle.I've got the kevlar also.

Those look very familiar!

Should have no problem getting steelhead to bite those!

Those look great. Steel head won't be smart enough to tell they're not perfect either. You just gotta get em in front of there face and it'll be fish on!

I like the Peach yarn with a touch of that purplish pink, but I try to not get caught up in thinkin only one color will work. It just happens to be I fished more peach with purplish pink stripes on good days.

And I didn't even know there was any other yarn besides steelhead stalkers yarn

We appreciate the support! We have a new products coming out tomorrow that we are very excited about. Its something that we use in a lot of our fishing videos but these are UV enhanced like our yarn. Stay tuned!
