Carnage Damsel SBS – Scott Patterson

A lot of variations to the basic framework out there; just one idea here.

core – 8lb Mason
body/shellback/head – 1mm foam blue
wing – Congo Hair white
thorax – dubbing blue
hackle – grizzly

put a loop in the end of the mono

mash barb, start thread; tie in mono

tie in foam, hook the loop onto the gallows

brush mono with Super Glue, wrap foam up (2x hook length)

brush on some more Super Glue and wrap back down; tie down tag end at base

tie in CH on either side of body

tie in hackle

dub thread/dub thorax

wrap hackle thru thorax; tie off/trim

trim hackle on top, pull foam forward; tie down

fold forward over eye to create head

tie off, half hitch x 2, SHHAN, trim head, trim wing, trim out hackle underneath

FrankenDUB Stimulator – Son Tao

tied by Son Tao

Son Tao tied up this super slick Stimulator using FrankenDUB Nymph Dubbing for the body.
Son had this to say about buggy bodies on Stimulators.

“Buggy bodies trap more air bubbles to help floatation. I normally forego the buggy bodies and use heavy hackle wraps instead.”

However, he decided to use FrankenDUB on this body and I think it came out looking awesome! Here is what Son recommends when using this buggy dubbing on a Stimi.

“I used the split thread method to dub it. That way, I got the dubbing spun nice and tight. Brushed it out and then trimmed.”

Materials list:

Hook: Ahrex 531
Tail and Wing: Elk
Underwing: Midge crystal flash
Body: Frankenfly Nymph Dubbing (dark olive) blended with SLF. With long fibers trimmed
Body hackle: Whiting grizzly variant
Thorax: Whiting cree
