Another Yarnie How to (pic heavy)

[TailOutSwingin]

Here is how I do a yarnie that leaves the egg loop available for bait (eggs,shrimp, ez eggs).

These are a little more work than some, but they do look and fish nice.


Start by tying an egg loop with the tag end that would normally hang down the shank of the hook, looped back through the eye of the hook.

Next tie your egg loop just like you normally would on top of the "loop"

Now finish your egg loop but do not pull the "tag loop" tight.

Next cut 5-7 pieces of Mcfly Foam in 1" strips.

Center the yarn strands in the tag loop

Pull the tag loop as tight as you can to secure the yarn

Now push the yarn to the top of the hook shank and grasp between your thumb and middle finger

Next use your thumbnail as a template and cut the yarn. The key is to use a really sharp scissors and try to make the cut in one snip.

You should be holding a little bit of yarn that looks like this

Now roll the yarn between your fingers to fluff and round it.

The last step is to trim any loose threads or any bits that are out of round and now your done.

Nice. I do my glo-bugs by using 4 pieces directly to the hook. Two on top and two on the bottom.

Sure!

I did want to edit that 1 pic that mysteriously resized itself, but I cant seem to edit my post? I will pm the link to you and maybe you could edit it for me?

Thx

I can see the edit button, but nothing happens when I click it. I have not edited this post, but I have been able to edit posts in the past. I just tried again and still a no go for editing. I will try again later just to see if it is working and let you know.

That's the same way I tie mine and I think it works great. The only thing I do different is I cut my yarn shorter. I noticed that if I cut my strips of glo-bug yarn about 5/8th of an inch I can skip all the steps of trimming the yard.

Instead I just slide it in there, cinch the loop tight, then clip the front tag and "roll" the yanrnie around in my fingers and puff it up.

I'll tie about 15 leaders at a time first, then do the yarnie part second. It makes the whole process go fast.

[Globugger]

Thats the way I've been tying em also.

I remember when I first started tying, my globugs/yarnies, were great and the stayed secure on the hook. Now I can't tie worth it.

[me and the river]

I would eat it, Thanks for the post!

[RollinontheRvr]

I tie mine that way to, I have not got a fish on one yet but I hope to in 2 Days Man, 2 days... Oh and a wake up. :cool:

[Sandyboy]

Thats the way i tie mine also easy,fast.Thanks

I was asking earlier has anyone figured out how the yarnie and eggs were put together in the pic in the Dec issue of salomon trout steeheader.... on pg 31 in the article about drift walking? is it just the puff ball holding the eggs on or is the double loop tyed differant so as to use the bottom loop over and over which would be great....

[RollinontheRvr]

I just read the article an no where does it say how he hooked up his puff ball. I have never used them myself but I do know that everything I have read or heard about is to put the puff ball over the point of the hook after baiting with eggs so that it is below the eggs adding to the bouyancy of your presentation. One thing to keep in mind is that one mans yarnie is another mans yarn thru the egg loop. I will pull back my egg loop and tie in some yarn for color and for teeth grabbing ability.

[smokey25]

It looks to me that they some how get the eggs under the yarn? I am just wondering how they keep the eggs in place? The puff ball would not be enough to hold the eggs on if they were only running them through the hook. I make mine with the double loop method and put the yarnie in the lower loop which leaves the upper loop free as I have been taught to make them... this keeps the yarn very snugg... only know room for eggs below...

Thanks for your help, maybe someone will know or the author's will respond....

Put the eggs and the yarn in together under the egg loop. Done.

Done this way the yarn can help keep the line from cutting through the egg membrane if you didn't make the loop big enough.

Easy, and simple... hook your small egg bait a few times, then slide them up to the curve in the hook. From there, get them into the baitloop. You can add yarn here, or just thread a puff ball down the line. But I just like to slide a couple pieces in with the eggs when I cinch down the baitloop, around my eggs.
