Fly Tying a Squirmy Wormy by Mak

[nicholasdeluca]

Your videos are so enjoyable. I have struggled with squirmy worm materials. They literally get destroyed by most glues. The thread bed and that thread trick to pull it thru the head is a game changer.
Now I can't wait to tye these now. Soooo many color options with different beads and worm material.
THANK YOU for restoring my confidence.

I really like the way that looks with the bead versus just wrapping the worm with thread.

Nice work, @Makflies, great trick with the thread through the bead. I noticed you didn't use your usual UV laser! I have also gone with the regular UV light when tying with squirmy material. I've found that the laser can actually 'melt' the material. Great stuff!

I love these Squirmy Wormy flies ! Thanks Mak

A very interesting video, thanks for sharing it with us. I tie a very similar "fly" however I just use a red rubber band because it costs virtually nothing catches plenty of fish and it's very durable.

Can’t go wrong fly, fish love worms.

I like your approach to tying the squirmy. I'm going to apply UV to mine and see how it does. I think the purists can go kick rocks and get skunked, because the whole point of fishing, is to catch fish, not look pretty.

Cool way to make a squirmy. But if you skipped the uv part, then you can actually replace the material after the fish " tear it up"!!

Maravilha show parabéns pelo seu talento 👏👏👍👍👍

Great video! Interesting tying ideas. I had been cautioned in use of super glue & UV resins on squirmy worm material. Apparently it will deteriorate the material?

Never fished a squirmy Arshad I suppose never say never 🐟🎣😂😂

[Mark-cnem]

Regular fly tying UV resins will crack after a short period oftime. Loon's UV Knot Sense is more pliable and lasts longer.

OK!! Thanks video...

I really like the Squirmy Worm, but its durability isn't great.
The ones I've tied keep becoming soft and breaking apart.
Is there a way to make them more durable?

[Mrfluefiske]

Man this fly is ugly, but so effective though. Great video as always. Thanks Mak.

Mak, I love your vids, do you sell your flies?
