Tying Instructions: Start out like you are tying a clouser
Tie on the dumbell eyes and Tie in the bunny Strip
like you would on a clouser..

Take the chartreuse strip and epoxy to the underside of the white strip

Tie in the Chartreuse Bucktail Like on a Clouser

Take the Iris Master Brite And Wrap Around THe Eyes And in Front and in Back of the Bucktail....

Top with herl and coat head with epoxy and epoxy
white strip on the top side of the hook.....


The Epoxy Steps can be done However you like...
I do it this way so the rabbit fur is clean and free of epoxy.... you can use zap a gap also..

I use the epoxy because it doesn't soak in a s fast as zap a gap..

Pick out the iris head to make it look buggy......




Presentation Tips: It Is Pretty Weedless Because of the Bucktail Being Stiff on top of the hook Because of the Master brite Being Wrapped the way it is.....
Crawl it on the bottom or pulse as you would fish any clouser........
