Just like the original, only bigger and badder! This easy to tie fly will really turn fish.
|
Step By Step:
|
Start thread at eye.
|
Tie in mylar tinsel and wrap back to the bend, and return wrap back to the eye. Trim excess tinsel.
|
Tie in your eyes using figure-8 wraps. It's a good idea to cover your thread wraps with a drop of zap-a-gap to improve durability and to keep the eyes from rotating.
|
Flip the hook in the vise and tie in a large yellow marabou feather. Trim the butts and bind down.
|
Tie in a few strands of gold holographic tinsel.
|
Tie in a large red marabou feather. Trim the butts and bind down.
|
Build up a small head and whip finish. Done!
|
Additional Tips/Photos:
|
- You can of course tie this fly in a variety of colors, although the yellow/red combo is very effective.
- If you want a slow sinking fly try using plastic or bead chain eyes rather than lead.
- The lead eyes flip the hook, causing it to ride point up.
