Tying a Twenty Incher with Hot Spot Biots

Hot spots can be incorporated in different ways (see our blog here: https://www.discountflies.com/...) and in many different colors. The new INFERNO Biots by SemperFli are another great option for adding hotspots to classics like the Twenty Incher.  We also show a technique to greatly simplify and meaningfully improve the durability of partridge legs on nymphs.
