1. Attach the thread about 1/4 the shank length behind the eye. |
||
2. Attach the Body Material to the top of the shank. |
||
3. Secure the Floss with thread wraps to the midway point of the bend of the hook. |
||
4. Bring the thread back up to the 1/4 location behind the eye. |
||
5. At the midway point of the hook bend, twist the Floss very tightly and wrap a segmented body up to the tie in point. |
||
6. Select a clump of deer body hair and trim the tips and butts for about a 1/2" width. Spin the hairs around the hook behind the eye and secure with tight wraps. |
||
7. Pull all the fibers away from the eye and finish the thread head. Trim the hair head with a razor blade. A rounded head and angled cut at the back is the standard shape. |
