We tied the Eucumbene Zonker Bugger under JQ\u2019s supervision.<\/p>\n
Materials list and a photo of the killer fly here. Warning \u2013 these flies are so deadly that NSW Department of Primary Industries is about to make them illegal. 😀<\/p>\n
The zonker is the tail, a replacement for the usual marabou. They\u2019re not overly big and tied on a jig hook so that it may be snag free as you pull them through yabbie beds or soaks around the lakes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Recipe:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– jig hook sizes 10-16. 12-14 is a recommended size for these. With a slotted bead to suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– Thread 8\/0 uni and a colour of your choice<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– Zonker strip (olive, brown, Black etc) to create the tail. We will remove the fur from strip, rather than tie in the strip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– flash in any colour. One or two strips tied into the tail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– body may be any dubbing, spectra, seals or chenille etc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– small wire any colour (locking down the hackle).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– hen hackle to suit body. Eg grizzly, olive, brown black etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– hot spot usually flyline backing or something that \u2018pings\u2019 when the UV torch hits it. JQ will bring this. It\u2019s what Nathan recommends!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
– head cement be it Loon UV or Sally Hansen\u2019s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
