A cousin of the Bucktail Deceiver, this is another pattern from the hands of Bob Popovics. With a unique use of the bucktail fibers in the tying, denser heads/ties can be created to achieve various effects. These techniques equal into an incredible movement to the fly and realistic profile. Here we take you step-by-step through the process on how to tie a BULKhead Deceiver.

The Bucktail Deceiver (BTD) was first tied by Bob Popvics and utilizes solely bucktail as the source material. With the combination of changing fiber length, location on the hook shank, and density of bucktail sections, an incredibly realistic profile and movement can be created. Here we take you through the steps of tying a Bucktail Deceiver with larger big game in mind such as striped bass, pike, tarpon, musky, and snook.
A classic Maine fly, the Wood Special was originally tied by Joe Sterling in the 1960's. Since then, it has found a place in many fly anglers boxes as a choice pattern for trout and salmon. Fly fishermen have found it successful in not only imitating small baitfish and young brook trout, but also as an October Caddis as well. Most anglers find the best way to fish this is "down-and-across" and slowly stripped back.
Pacchiarini's Dragon Tails have become very popular for fly tying Pike and Musky patterns as well many other big game fish such as Striped Bass and Golden Dorado. In this video Joe Webster shows you a great way of attaching these dragon tails to any fly pattern!

Attaching stick-on (holographic) eyes can be a pain and they always seem to come off! In this video we show you a good way of making sure they don't fall off, plus it's also a good way of building heads with UV resin. All done with Solarez UV resins.
