Tie it up...
This one's pretty
easy, just be sure to start at the bend and try not to move too far forward.
-
Place the hook
in the vise and attach the tying thread.
-
Starting at the
back of the bend, tie in a medium clump of unstacked Bucktail extending
about a shank and a half.
-
Tie in the Crystal
flash at the mid point and double it over so that it comes to just shy
of the Bucktail tips.
-
Tie in the FisHair,
then Ultra Hair keeping each layer just shy of the tips on the previous
one, throw in a few half-hitches to lock it all down.
-
Tie in the Marabou
throat
-
Using a figure-of-eight
pattern, tie in the eyes, building a sharp bullet head. Throw in a few
half-hitches to lock it down.
-
Apply a whip finish,
and cut the tying thread.
-
Apply nail polish
or your favorite head cement.
-
Go fishing.
