Episode 4 of Tie Like a Pro starts off with an introduction to this 4 part episode where we’ll be going over an array of streamer head designs that impart/or are unique to a flies derived action. Part 1 showcases Jerk Flies and explores the 2 primary methods for developing a “profile turn” action, as well as giving two tying examples for building a durable ultra thin “Jerk” head. Topics include hook selection for Jerk flies, physical characteristics and creating the vertical sail, and momentum/viscosity principles.
Part 2 of Episode 4 is all about Articulating Flies! The Articulating Fly style is one of the most deadly and versatile styles in the modern streamer game and this episode is all about breaking down the physics of how and why they work. In this episode we explore Hook properties and considerations, attaching lead eyes and the purpose behind the weight, water push vs. water drag based on material selection and density, as well as 3 tying examples including Kelly Galloup’s Sex Dungeon Head, a Stacked Dubbing Head, and a Strung Fuzzy Fiber Head.
