Tying instructions
Create a thread base extending to the bend of the hook and trim the excess.
Tie in paired feathers (two feathers per side) to each side of the hook shank extending from the bend.
Tie in holographic flash at the base of the tail, wrap 3/4 of the shank with flash.
Spread a clump of white bucktail equally around the hook shank and secure.
Tie in 6-12 strands of crystal flash extending the length of the tail.
Spread a small clump of chartreuse bucktail evenly across the top of the shank.
Tie in a small bunch of red flash under the shank.
Whip finish, secure the eyes with superglue, and coat the head with UV resin to complete.
