Tying Instructions: This is basically just a Lefty's Deceiver with a marabou body.

The marabou should be tied in by the tip and then palmered forward. This will give your fly a lot of bulk with little added weight, the marabou will dance in the water as well.

I use craft fure rather than bucktail for the wing because it is very translucent in the water with a subtle action - the marabou does most of the work.
Presentation Tips: Work it like any baitfish pattern - but with the marabou the fly works even at rest.
