This product is great for those of us who are epoxy challenged. You avoid the mess while creating a perfect head on your bait fish patterns every time. Eyes tend to stay on longer as well since they are in a grove on the fish mask. First time users of the fish mask may have to learn how much material it takes to fill out whatever size mask they are using but once they figure it out they can tie up some very good looking durable bait fish flies.
I love using these for baitfish immitations. The sizing can be a bit weird though. I have bought the 7mm and the 5mm and there is a BIG difference between the two. The 7mm makes flies in the 3-4 inch range while the 5mm makes flies in the 2 inch (or less) range. I use smaller hooks than suggested, for the 5mm I use size 8 and for the 7mm I use size 4, they seem better proportioned for these sizes.
Takes markers well I just use colored sharpies on it and they look great. Would recommend and will buy again.
Masks reduce the time it takes me to tie a streamer, no need for tons of epoxy, but Flymen can’t figure out the formula. I have some that are flexible and UV reactive—then they change the formula to make them clear, and they’re hard and break easily. Hard and clear, soft and hazy, medium hardness but cloudy. The factory in China makes it however they want I guess. I’m looking for a better alternative.
