This will make the varnish evaporate down to about 50% and result in a thick sticky cement that won’t bleed. The glue used here is a regular bottle of Veniard Cellire varnish that I have left the top off for a few days. The glue or cement used should be thick enough so as not to bleed into the fibres of the feathers.
Typically these wings are constructed by glueing each component on top of each other. Measure and strip off the un-needed fibres at the base so they are all the correct size. Don’t worry if these flare a little you can position these later with the wing.Ĭonstruct the wing by selecting all four components for both sides of the wing. Tie these in lying on top of the hook shank.
#Bluex streamer full#
Choose full bodied herl with nice points and good iredescent colour. Select 8-10 straight strands of nice peacock herl, avoid strung herl, these are often bent or broken. This should be about one hook gape longer than the hook. Tie off.Ĭut clean and stack a bunch of white buck tail for the throat. Now take your flat silver tinsel for the rib and wind forward in even open turns, trying to make each turn the same distance and angle as the last. Once at the tag reverse the floss and begin wrapping it back towards the hook eye, and tie off. Wrap the floss silk in neat flat turns back towards the tag try and make these wraps as neat and flat as possible. Now tie in a length of red floss silk just behind the eye. Tie in another longer length of flat silver tinsel at the end of the tag and run your tying thread neatly along the hook shank towards the hook eye. Tie in a short length of flat silver tinsel and make 6 or 7 turns to form the tag. Secure your 10XL streamer hook in the vice with the hook shank horizontal.Īttach your tying thread to the hook shank just above the point.
