Rattle n/a (1)
3D eyes Large (1 pair)
UV resin / head cement Clear uv resin (head coat)
How to tie it
Lay a thread base over the front half of the shank and tie in a sparse clump of white bucktail top and bottom to keep the synthetic fibers from fouling around the hook.
Build the tail in stacked layers of long synthetic hair, alternating top and bottom clumps and working forward so the profile stays full and doesn't collapse.
Add a topping of colored synthetic hair and several strands of holographic flash over the back.
Tie a rattle along one side of the shank near the head to call fish in dirty water.
Stack short synthetic clumps at the head to fill out a broad, water-pushing profile, then bind everything down firmly.
Glue a large 3D eye to each side of the head.
Whip finish underneath, coat the head and thread wraps in a heavy layer of UV resin and cure, then trim the head profile clean.
