Custom tails?

Sometimes i need to get creative, and the tail design is a very important part of fly tying for pikes and muskies. The head gives you presence,volume and direction in a streamer, but the tail gives it life. I'm always thinking about new tail designs to create them magic moves to seduce a big girl!
If you're like me and always looking for inspiration and creativity you have to play with some faux suede! That stuff is just brilliant, it's super resilient to pike's teeth, it takes inks and paints so well, and you can make anything with it! It dries very well without any changes in the original shape .Tails, wiggle,wave, doubles,slims, long, fat ones! Crab claws, shrimp body, frog legs,  possibilities are endless!
Like i mention in the video, i get a good few messages asking how to make your own tails. That video should help..I hope....That said i know the Ebay can be strange, some stuff i can buy here, people in other countries can't. Just try to get around it by maybe looking at different countries to ship where ever you live. Best of luck and get creative!



 Made a fresh new logo for F.W.A!  Might get a few cap done..?..

  1. SOUTH Korea, not North.

    Too bad the markers don't take too well to the fabric. Air brush is a hassle.
