I tie a similar fly for trout, I use tuffleye on them. I won't call them bulletproof but they are extremely durable.

You could also use clear cute too I guess.

Gary I use water base head cement from Jans Netcraft I love it and as of yet haven't had any problems with it. Hey Gary if you get a chance how about showing us some picture of your creations we would love to see them.

Hello, I have been tying different color rubber band grubs using colored rubber bands kids use to make bracelets. These small cheap rubber bands make very nice looking grub flies that catch Bluegill well but I can't find a head cement that doesn't melt these bands. I have tried clear nail polishes from different manufactures and Cabela's head cement but all seem to melt these bands, Thanks in advance for any ideas on what to use. Gary
