Tying instructions
Create thread base behind the eye and tie in bead chain with cross wraps.
Rotate vise and create thread base extending to the bend.
Tie in chenille with tail extending one shank length beyond the bend.
Using a lighter, carefully burn the end of the chenille creating a tapered tip.
Create an even dubbed body extending to just behind the bead chain eyes.
Use a dubbing brush to create a buggier appearance.
Tie in hackle tip first. Trim excess tip beyond tie-down point.
Pull fibers back as you wrap the hackle forward creating a thick, even collar.
Secure with thread and trim excess.
If a gap exists between the collar and bead chain, fill with dubbing.
Whip finish and apply super glue on the thread to complete.
