'Somewhat less challenging than the rather involved Dual Tube Phly...
this is a spin off of my Phly Welding technique... I prefer and recommend Bug-Bond Original L.C.A. [light cured acrylic]...
Peeete's [u:64eb4b2758]Welded Wide Body Tunnel Hull Pheather n' Phlash Tube Phly.[/u:64eb4b2758]..

Bug-Bond [and all L.C.A. that I have tested] adheres better when it has some texture to grab on to...
I prefer pearl Bill's Bodi Braid and it serves as the phoundation for the majority of my phlyz...

'slight variation of the phinal pheather yields a different coloration or personality...
a heavier or lighter hook will target different layers of the water column...

FYI: Google "phly welding" for variations on the technique...
