Thread: Ant ....

Nice, if mine had looked anything near that there would not have been a pile of foam and thread. Am looking for the video showing how it's done, have seen it before but retention is coming harder lately.--shu

Here are a couple links...just not videos!

Just cut the foam and use heat to help shape the ends. Also this first like is how I learned to tie as videos were not out there like they are now. Still even with the videos I prefer this kind of instructions!

Enjoyed watching the videos and learned why my bodies are 'clumpy', don't have the dubbing materials and have never tried any yet--a lot to learn. Done two this morning and the bodies look more like squares than nice and smooth. Thanks for the links to the videos, there must be a thousand ways to do an ant.--shu

Shu my ant dose not have dubbing on it all it it is is hook ,thread,foam & hackle

Steve, that looks easy enough that I'm going to have to try one for myself. I got a request from a friend for some gills, and you can't turn down good people. Good video.
