Thread Fluorescent red 18/0 (8/0 or 12/0 also fine)
Materials
Slotted tungsten bead Gold (silver or hot pink also work) (One, 1/8")
Coq de Leon fibres (pheasant tail substitutes) Speckled ginger coq de leon fibres (A small clump for the tail)
Wire, 0.2mm Hot pink wire mm (One length for the rib)
Flat flash, medium Orange mirage (One length for the body)
Sparkle dubbing Shocking pink (A very small pinch for the collar)
Head cement or glue Clear head cement (A dab under the body and on the whip finish)
How to tie it
Slide the slotted tungsten bead onto the jig hook with the slot facing up, mount the hook, and build a small thread dam behind the bead so the slot stays on top; whip finish and cut that thread.
Start the fluorescent red thread behind the bead and wrap a smooth base back along the shank.
Tie in a small clump of Coq de Leon fibres angled slightly toward you so the pinch loop rolls them on top, pull them to about a body length, take a couple of wraps down the shank and one wrap underneath the tail to prop it up, then trim the butts.
Spin the thread counter-clockwise to flatten it and wrap a slim, even underbody. A thin jig sinks through the water column faster.
Tie in the hot pink wire, tucking the end into the slot of the bead, then tie in the orange mirage flash on top and bind both materials back to the rear tie-in point before bringing the thread forward.
Dab a little glue or head cement on the underbody, then wind the flash forward in slightly overlapping turns to the bead and tie it off with a couple of wraps behind and a couple in front; trim.
Counter-wind the wire forward in five or six evenly spaced ribs, then take one complete turn of wire right at the head to fill the gap between the bead and the shank, and twist the wire off.
Spin a tiny amount of shocking pink sparkle dubbing into a thin noodle and make one or two wraps for a hot-spot collar against the bead.
Whip finish twice, adding a little glue to the thread on the second whip, and snip.
