Powder Puff FAB/Blob
Tied by Cheech · September 2026
The Powder Puff FAB is a straightforward take on a material most stillwater anglers already know well. By taking the time to thoroughly puff out the Eggstasy yarn, you get a much fuller, higher-profile bug on the hook without unnecessary weight or bulk. We've also included a recipe for a blob variation in this one, which simply swaps out the foam for flash if you want a bit more sparkle. There isn't any real mystery to it, but these little adjustments have worked well on the water. Give them a try next time you're prepping your stillwater box and let me know how they work out.
