[highdarktemplar]

Hey, this looks very awesome and realistic plus easy to tie but can I replace that ribbing with a thin copper wire? or with what can I replace the ribbing?

[EscalanteFlyFlipper]

Change colors add an ostrich head and its crane fly larvae... Sweet....

i tier a bunch of these up and they are great, great anchor and they are catching suckers and carp left and right

[2bonthewater]

and rightfully so

Awesome fly.  What size and style hook are you using? I know Vladi used to add some bends to his hoks, but this hook seems to be factory fresh.

Thanks,

Jon

I have been unable to find Crown Brand condoms. They are not marked by color in the pharmacy. We got some of these from a friend and they absolutely kill. We want to make some of our own. Please tell me what brand. Rack and Claw.

Crown brand condoms (Skinless Skin) manufactured by Okamoto.

They are Crown Condoms. Yes they do get brittle so do not make a ton of them. I tie six at a time. If they are going to go bad before I use them I give them away.

Can you tell us the size, manufacturer and style of the hook you use for the Vladi

[Rienzi1863]

Does color matter? I don't think condom boxes have the color on the box, do they? I'm not to keen on standing in the local drug store asking for pink condoms. Second, how long does the latex hold up? Doesn't it dry and get brittle?

[MakoKitten]

You should check out the condomdepot website, they can probably keep you from standing around feeling embarrassed.

But Okamoto manufactures the Skinless Skin Crown Condoms Which are what they're using for the Vladi worm.
