Tying the slump buster

Recommended Posts

Looking for some advice on tying the slump buster (pattern by John Barr). I believe the body is crystal braid and a strip of zonker rabbit fur is lashed to the body via ultra wire (just like the meat whistle). It looks like the collar is cross cut rabbit strips but I can't fugure out how to get the strip lashed down under the cone head. When I have tried to tie, you can see the thread that I bind down the crosscut strip. Any advice on how to get the clean collar under the conehead? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any recommendations on tying the "hackle" portion behind the bead head? Mine keeps coming out rather uneven.
