Tying Instructions: A very simple hex pattern to tie. It takes me less than a couple of minutes to tie.

Tie in the eyes and wrap the thread around the hook to the end of the hook's shank. Cut a section of wire or mono for the ribbing. Then tie in the marabou. Wrap the marabou around the hook until you reach the eyes and cut any excess. Then wrap the wire or mono around the marabou and cut any excess. Take a hen's hackle and tie in the tip. Wrap the hackle the hook and cut off the excess. Whip finish and you're done.
Presentation Tips: I usually swing this pattern.
