Vladi Worm

Vladi Worm

Hook: Size 10 AllenFlyFishing S402BL 2XL Barbless

Thread: Fluorescent Cerise UTC Ultra Thread 140 Denier

Rib: 4 lb Monofilament fishing line

Body: Pink Condom cut into 1/8 inch sections

Note: In order to build up the body of the fly I begin by tying the condom strip at the hook bend and wrapping the condom flat up the shank to the eye and then back down to the barb. The condom is hard to work with and will slide around but keeping tension helps to combat this. Once I reach the rear of the fly using flat wraps, I will twist the condom strip in order to cord the material which provides the segmentation to the fly. Another aspect that I use in this fly is a few turns of lead showing through the underbody of the fly to accent a clitellum like a natural worm (The clitellum is the dark spot found on most worms).
