A painter's touch
Article Abstract:
A common polyester-fiber paintbrush, which can closely imitate the exoskeletons of many aquatic insects due to a slick surface, is presented. The fiber is tied at the bend of the hook and is wrapped forward to create a potent midge larva imitation. The shine of the material provides the visual effect of the natural insect and the round profile of the paintbrush fiber creates a lifelike, segmented body, which attracts the fishes.
