01Prepare proper-sized chunk of tail tip material. | |
02Create extra long dubbing loop using three wraps of 210 thread. Stack first color of tail dubbing. | |
03Insert prepared tail tip chunk. Apply small amount of head cement onto thread over this tip piece. | |
04Stack second tail dubbing into the loop. | |
05Twist the dubbing loop. | |
06Use dubbing rake to comb out loose material. | |
07Continue to twist the dubbing loop until it will not twist any more. Fold the yellow tip piece over on its self and pull to one side. Let the entire dubbing loop furl over its self. | |
08Cut furled tale off at the base and glue with Zap-A-Gap. | |
09Use bodkin to straiten tip fibers and comb out kinks. | |
10Trim to proper length. | |
11Taper the tip. | |
12Use dubbing rake to comb out and blend the tail dubbing. | |
13Create thread base on hook shank (to include bend of jig hook). | |
14Mount the eyes VERY well to insure NO movement! | |
15Tie on tail to proper length. Trim butt section of tail. | |
16Zap-A-Gap tie in point of eyes and let dry. This locks in the eyes. | |
17Once the Zap-A-Gap has dried, apply Hard As Hull head cement over entire painted lead eyes. Let dry and REPEAT! | |
18Tie in 1st set of rubber legs. Then ribbing wire. Then scud Back. Then rear zonker strip. | |
19Wrap rear zonker strip forward. Tie off and cut leaving room for second zonker strip. | |
20Tie in and wrap second zonker strip up to lead eyes. | |
21Dampen zonker hair and part down the middle. Fold Scud Back over and tie it off. | |
22Wrap ribbing wire forward. Pick the hair out from under the wire as you go. | |
23Part the 2nd zonker hair on either side of fly. Tie in the marabou topping. Use three strait fiber tip chunks of marabou. | |
24Tie in 2nd set of rubber legs to the rear of the lead eyes and off to the side of the fly body. Then create dubbing loop using head dubbing. | |
25Figure 8 wrap dubbing loop around the eyes and onto the bend of the jig hook. | |
26Tie off dubbing loop and use bodkin to pick out matted down dubbing fibers. | |
27Rake out dubbing around head, then trim loose dubbing fibers off the back side and front ONLY! | |
