Select three fibers of Coq De Leon and measure to the length of the hook shank.
Pinch the fibers above the shank and slide the thread between your fingers to the tie-in point.
Wrap the thread around the hook shank to secure the fibers.
Trim the excess fibers.
Wrap the thread forward to create a smooth body.
Whip finish with two turns.
Apply a thin layer of black UV resin to the top of the body to create the wing case.
