way to break off that skunk! i have also started making my own sabikis, and it does give you a more complete sense of being an angler... especially when you can't fish or aren't catching targets... your sabikis are looking pretty sharp!

i'll post a pick of what i'm doing asap.

Awesome all the way around! Jim

Hey Ken,

I've been using a few different materials, but here is a little rundown on one type.

I use a knotting cord that is pretty iridescent.

I also use holographic ribbon.

Both the knotting cord and holographic ribbon were purchased at Michaels.

I combine the two and wrap the hook.

Once bound, I fray the knotting cord with a hook and trim the holographic ribbon to length and desired angle.

Then I apply a pigmented base coat, usually with red nail polish or varnish.

Then I apply a final coat with a clear iridescent nail polish or varnish.

Once dry, I tie everything together.

Hope this helps.
