A wee picture of the Olive/blue and sand versions, better light, but still hard to capture the colours and sparkly bits
They are all just a size 8, so should be a nice throw on a 7wt.

I'll tell you something Sandy, those flies work an absolute treat in the sea around Shetland. The sea trout were crazy for similar flies during most of the season up there last year.  I'm not the biggest fan of hard/epoxy style flies, but boy do they work! I must say i do like the look of yours though!

Im a bit late to this discussion but I am very interested in trying some uv resin but I cant justify £30+ for bug bond. I have just bought the torch in the link. Cheers Baz  I know a few folks have been less than happy with the one you get in the BB kit.

If I was to buy the a bottle of the deer creek resin...http://www.deercreek.co.uk/Diamond-Hard-UV-resin-kit.html is there any reason why the torch you are using will not cure this? Do they all set at different light frequency things? Am I over complicating this? (spot the guy who failed physics )

I also stumbled across this stuff http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UV-Cured-Resin-Bug-Bonds-/380435729078?pt=UK_SportingGoods_FishingAcces_RL&hash=item5893bc8ab6 Anyone tried it?

Cheers

Paul,
UV light cured resins are what is commonly known as Acrylic Gel as used in the "beauty trade" for making acrylic nails. Like many things in life, someone saw a gap in the market, re-bottled the stuff, tripled the price and sold it to us.
