Tying instructions
Slide the pink bead onto the hook.
Start the thread behind the bead and wrap down the hook shank to the bend.
Select 3 pheasant tail fibers and tie them in at the bend, extending one shank-length.
Tie in the red wire at the tie-in point for the tail.
Tie in the holographic label at the tie-in point for the tail.
Advance the thread forward, creating a tapered body.
Apply super glue to the body for durability.
Tie in the Tactical Microflash Peacock collar.
Pull the holographic label forward over the body and tie it off behind the bead.
Counter-wrap the red wire forward over the body to create a rib, tie off behind the bead, and trim the excess.
Whip finish and apply head cement.
