{{+1}}Squirmy worm{{-1}}
{{start}}
Squirmy wormy flies hit the market in 2014 with gusto. They were described as the new wonder fly. For my part I have to say that despite their emerging reputation I thought it just a fad and didn't embrace them. Over time they have endured and their reputation of, on the day, being an exceptional fish taking fly has grown and grown. They have also become very well accepted in competition circles and consequently I have fallen into line and have added them to my fly box.
A second reputation that squirmy worm flies have developed is that they break up very easy. Part of the problem is that the extruded rubber profile is very soft and easily cut by the very thread that they are tied on with.
My version below mitigates that problem somewhat as the material is tied on with thread loaded with dubbing rather than just the thin thread.
