Didn’t have any of the right size silver beads for the silver one. Tails might be a bit short and red throat might be a bit too large. Critiques and comments welcomed. SF Those look great . I wouldn't sweat the beads or getting lengths perfect either . I'll use bead chain beads or even cones . Don't really matter all that much as long as long as it's weight forward. One thing I'll do sometimes is taper the tail to slim up the profile a bit. If you have black braid tie a couple up you might be surprised how well it works .

KidDkivahh Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 CuCuy ( the new kitten ) let me have some vise time . Just a couple of cased caddis . First time trying with estaz and cactis chenille . I liked the burnt estaz over the chenille for a slimmer body . But I like the colour of the burnt chenille better has a more natural look. Probably dont really matter but I wished the estaz had a white core like the chenille. Hook I, Stonefish and Fergal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saltyh2ofly Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 A Gartside's Gurgler tyed with thick density fat foam.....its already a proven and productive pattern. It scoots across the surface, pops like a popper, rises quickly when pulled under and easy to cast. The face is 1.25 inches across Suave, Stonefish and KidDkivahh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidDkivahh Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Todays hard earned efforts . I had plenty of help ( most likely wants credit too) . Tried various colours of Estaz and chenilles for these cased Caddis , So far root beer black, olive, and black seem to fit what I wanted .
