It looks great. I don't know the first thing about tying seawitches but i would not hesitate to pull that behind my boat.

I wish my witches could look like that.........

I expect a good report everytime that dredge goes in the water.......

Beautiful witch, love the bling. You do not need to use glue...several half hitches with waxed floss will work great.

Looks great man, but get out the bathtub and go fishing.

To the "purist's" you may not need glue ( a point of pride I guess). But I use quality tying floss, clear nail polish or "Pliobond", just to be sure. Capt. Joe turned me onto the PlioBond, it work's well. When I tie my witches ,I plan on them taking a beating from fish, want them to last as long as possible. Frank

looks good!
If they are tight no glue is needed

thanks fellas, I pulled one through the bath tub and it looked purdy.

I am using rigging floss to tie it all down. Do you guys recommend super glue? My fly tying days are coming in handy.

Jet us know if you get a hookup in the tub.

Glue has at least 2 negatives in my book -

1) Re-rigging is a pain, cuz you have to remove the old glue...

2) if you aren't careful with the glue, a bunch of the hairs stick together and they don't spread out right...

That said I have some that were glued and the look great and run great...

I'd tell you to try some both ways - see what catches and what you prefer...

Nice skirt Hobie2. It looks very like the ones that I tie on the dredges that we sell. Very light weight and you can store 4 chains and a center chain in a quart zip lock bag for easy storage. Don't use super glue, it's too runny and will ruin your skirt. Pliobond is a rubber cement and it works great. They make a light weight and very flashy dredge with a big profile and if you loose some you haven't lost a lot of money.


Tuna Teaser1 I am getting older and can't remember what size floss you purchased. I would think that 70 lb would be a little bit large. You might have gotten some of the 50 instead of the 35 lb.

THANKS JOE SHUTE! Stemme is the one tying them --and will prob be calling for more materials soon. he says your materials are top-notch and the shipping is fast. look forward to rigging up the dredge. we will have a bally behind every witch and they will be on a double dredge (both 6 arm) with 12 droppers on each dredge. prob going to use fake ballys on the inside and real on the outside to save cost during non-tournament trips. we will def get pics of it in the water.
