what super hair color was he usin as the belly?

[FlyFishVideo]

The belly is white superhair. Again, use the colors to 'match the hatch'. One good combo is whitle on the bottom, some silver flash in the middle and one or two shades of a green/gray on top. This mimics a lot of fish in my area of NE Florida.

what should the top piece of super hair be sea foam green or olive

[FlyFishVideo]

Select the top color to match the local fish you are trying to match. In the video, he is using a very light olive green but try tying them in different colors.

what is that curly silver hair u are putting as the belly? thanks

[FlyFishVideo]

The belly is made of super hair (aka supreme hair and many other names). The flash layer above the belly is flashabou or angel hair. The top layer is more super hair in a light green color.

The acrylic is a substitute for expoxy in many applications with a quick cure time using the light. For more info you can contact the company: WetAHook.
