so i have been doing some more work with silli skin which is really fun stuff to work with! and i have been enjoying it except that it sticks to everything!. I concocted this creation up last night for bass fishing. Not extremely happy with the turnout. the foam under it was attached by thread and you can see where the tread wraps were. i tried today with some sticky foam but it would not stay sticking but it looked neater just would come off the hook…..
