1. Slide the Gold Bead and 5 glass beads onto the shank. Bring them up to the eye. Attach the thread behind the beads on the midshank and wrap down to the middle of the hook bend. |
||
2. Build up a small thread dam and slide the glass beads to the dam. |
||
3. Attach some buggy dubbing to the thread dam. |
||
4. Apply dubbing to thread loosely, or use a dubbing loop. I prefer to rope dub loosely . Beginning behind the rearmost bead, wrap the dubbing between the beads 2-3 times, stopping just in front of frontmost bead. |
||
5. A piece of velcro works well in pulling out the fibers. Smooth the fuzz back so it extends back beyond the bend of the hook. |
||
6.Dub a head of dark brown dubbing that is less thick than the glass beads. |
||
7. Tie in 6-8 woodduck fibers on each side of the dubbed head, tips pointing to rear, and extending to 3/4 the shank length. |
||
8. Apply some additional dubbing to cover the woodduck tie-in areas. Whip finish. |
