Re: [VFB] V rib? - Dave

[mark romero]

Dave, remember when using Goose biot's for bodies, that there's a notch in 
the butt end of the biot that needs to be positioned correctly according to 
what your doing/tying. Tye in by the tip, and have the notch to the left for 
mayfly (smooth) bodies, and have the notch to the right for nymph (fuzzy) 
bodies. Either way, you'll get a nice segmentation effect, but it's more 
pronounced with the notch to the right. The edeges of the biots are 
different on the different sides of the biots. Good luck. mark.........

Thanks, Nick...
Those look like you pulled them from a database somewhere... :)
I guess Vinyl Rib is something I can get at Line's End...
Other than the fact that it isn't maybe stretchable.. sounds like I could 
substitute biot if I had the right color?
