Recommended Posts

Mikulak, Sedgehog, whatever; there's a reason they make pool toys out of foam instead of dubbing. Change color/size to suit your fancy.

 

 

hook - Dai Riki 280 #8

thread - UTC 140 hot orange

tail/wing(s) - deer hair

body/head - 1mm foam orange

hackle - brown

 

 

mash barb/start thread; wrap to bend
