Tying Instructions: Lay down a thread base.

Tie in razor foam or peccary quill at the rear of the bend.

Create the tapered body shape with dubbing stopping at the 2/3 point to leave room for the wings.

Wind your razor foam or peccary up the shank to create the body. Tie off at the same 2/3 point.

Prepare and mount 2 wood duck feathers in wally wing style. Split the feathers and position the wings.

Tie in the antennae, figure eight a small amount of dubbing to cover the wing and create the thorax. Continue dubbing to create the head and tie off.
Presentation Tips: As with most spinner patterns, there will be a danger of propeller action and tippet twisting. I'm not concerned about the way my spinner lands. They're twisted, crushed, and folded most of the time.
