Orange Fritz with a short Yellow tail & Lime Green Fritz with a short orange tail, seam to be colours that I get asked to tie most.

do you use any specific make of fritz?,Plain ,uv,vampire it's a minefield out there for blob makers

I use B160's Size can be from 6-10 ( sounds huge but they are not to bad )

Normally use 6mm fritz and if you want a tail i use a few strands from a hank of UV Tinsel!
Best asking Jim doyle hes the blob king

Any 6mm fritz would do i guess!

How did the blobs get on then Derek, any photo's??

On you tube if you search for the FU blob it shows you a nice wee trick to tidy up the heads

hmmm might have to try tying a few of those up. Will need to buy some fritz tho!

« **Reply #13 on:** 15/01/2009 at 16:59 »

They look good to me ! What hooks were you using?

« **Reply #14 on:** 15/01/2009 at 18:59 »

Look pretty good to me.

« **Reply #15 on:** 15/01/2009 at 19:03 »

Another thing you could try is to tie in say 4 strands of small mirage tinsel at the eye of the hook , gives it a bit more flash when being pulled

Place one of your blobs next to a natural blob and you would not be able to tell the difference!

Rob,

« **Reply #20 on:** 15/01/2009 at 21:46 »

A blob is like ground baiting in coarse fishing terms - it brings the fish in for a nosey
