Just for reference, the chocolate Jawbreaker is can be seen at 5:08 in the vid.

I don't know what materials are used. But if you are talking about the alternating bands of color(light and dark) on the fly behind the abdomen, it looks like it could be a Banded Weave. It is discussed in The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference to Techniques and Dressing Styles in Chapter 10: Bodies Section 12 Woven Bodies Method #111. Thanks for the advice, I'll give the benchside reference a look for sure. Hope it's not too time consuming to do a weave.

I can tie the hoppicator and the caddis pupa but I'd really like some idea on how to tie the tungsten chocolate jawbreaker, namely the striated abdomen. It's a beautiful system that works fantastically for me but learning how to express that striated look has been frustrating.
