mossyoak_ontario Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 now that i got your attention, a friends joke led me to some thinkin and i learned a new way to tie realistic feeling and looking grub bodies and bubble gum worms from using colored latex condoms. yes, it works real well and looks amazing finished, Ive spent the last few days cutting slippery, lubed comdoms into strips, and whippin up some wicked looking flies, cant wait to try these guys out. Of course i wasnt the first person to think of using condoms as a skin wrap on a fly, but it took a dirty joke for me to realize its potential.. check out this link, just thought id share. http://www.condomdepot.com/learn/detail.cfm/cid/243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it actually worked quite well for tying scud flies. The bubble worm sounds like a good idea, I might try tying up a couple. I wonder if fish like tropical flavoring??

Great Lake Steel Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I ain't getting wet for him That's why they're pre-lubricated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Nifty idea. Sure beats paying paying fly shop prices for shell-back and scud materials Condoms aren't only useful for fly tying...They also make a great alternative for the steelheaders with weak clickers on their centrepins http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/hairband.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
