Big Doubles for Spring

[ballingall512]

Here is a wee selection of large doubles I have been tying for spring use.

All tied on size 5 Salar doubles, I could have gone a bit bigger but I just don't like size 3 salars

First up is my Hot pink orange and magenta flamethrower.


The head is Utc 70fluo white thread with xs pearl tinsel over



Next up is my black and yellow flamethrower style double.



I tie this using an electric yellow lite brite dubbed front body and a fluo white thread head, with fluo yellow crystal hair over.



Next up is my Black/chartruese and lime flamethrower.

This one has a UV head



This one is a work in progress yellow and Highlander green flamethrower style, with Jade green lite brite front body.



Now the good old Park shrimp.



And my, Donna's delight (pink park shrimp)



Here is a closer look at the different pearly heads I have used.
left .. uni mylar xs. over fluo white thread
middle.. Fluo yellow crystal hair over fluo white thread
right UV pearl crystal hair over fluo white thread



All ready to go.





Safely secured until they are called into action



Hope you like them.

Smashing flees a few strands of orange hair in the Highlander might look good. Flamethrower style is ideal for spring great job.....

I have to admit, that green is not a colour I have had great success with.

I know a couple of guys who swear by it though.
