Head : Bead Chain Eyes, Nearing to the head is also weighted with 7-8 coils of thin lead wire to give the fly a tipsy action.


Tying Instructions: Tying your own...
1) Preparation starts from the benting of hook. Tie approximately ¾ length thread bedding on the hook shank starting with the hook eye. Also include 7 to 8 rounds of lead wire around the front, secure the lead wire coils.
2) Tie in bead chain eyes & epoxy off at the head. ( I often do this process in bulk. Often tying 10 - 20 flies at one go.)
3) Once the epoxy dries off, you can began the next step. Tie in a uppy body of flash chenile & inside the entire gurb onto hook shank.
4) Then, tie in the buck tail as the fly's upper wing.
5) Whip finish & re-epoxy the rest of the head to complete.

Presentation Tips: This fly is tied for slow retrieval which allows the tail to wriggle arund the sea bed...
