Giant Buzzer

Jan Grandal-Johansen
Buzzer
Easy

  • Tie in the black kevlar at the head, work back down the body tying in the kevlar to where the bend of the hook just starts.
  • Go back to the eye just stopping short
  • Start to rap the kevlar back to the eye, not touching turns just missing each time to create a gap exposing the black thread. Tie down very well ( kevlar can slip if not tied down well).
  • Now have alook at the buzzer and decide how big you want the head. ie go back with the thread say just short of a 1/4 of a inch a rough guide only gently move forward to just short of the eye and build a small cone shape
  • End the thread behind the cone. Tie in two biots one each side.
  • Tie down behind the eye tie off.
  • A little tip I do is once you have tied off the buzzer at the eye,is get the thread again and go behind the goose biots with the thread and do a tiny little cone tie off with 2-3 turns only.
  • Finish of with a good coat of flu glue, On the thread and biots only not the Kevlar, and repeat when dry

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
