1. Tie in Grey Marabou Tail. The tail extension should be about one hook gap. Do not clip the tag. |
||
2. Wrap the rest of the marabou up the shank for a foundation to the closed cell foam. Wrap the marabou with thread wraps to secure. |
||
3. Bring a piece of Closed Cell Foam around the shank and secure with thread wraps. Make sure that the ends of the the foam are securely fastened. |
||
4. Slip a piece of Mylar Piping around the shank and secure the end of the piping at the tail tie in position. Give a couple of half hitches and a Whip Finish prior to severing the thread. |
||
5. Reattach the thread to the Mylar Piping just behind the eye. Pull the Piping to take out any sags prior to tightening the thread. |
||
6. Tie off, whip finish and apply head cement. |
||
7. Attach holographic eyes and color the Piping with Olive green on the top. Milt also likes to put a red mark behind the eye for a gill. Apply some head cement or light epoxy over the eye to securely fasten. |
