How to tie it
Slide an oversized black bead onto the hook and secure the hook in the vise.
Start the fire orange thread behind the bead and build a small thread head/taper to lock the bead in place.
Tie in a strand of pearl Flashabou along the side of the shank, then wrap the thread back around the bend and forward again, building a smooth, slightly tapered thread body.
Wrap the pearl Flashabou forward in close, fine segments up to the bead to form the rib; tie off behind the bead and trim.
Whip finish behind the bead.
Coat the entire body with a thin layer of UV resin, work it around evenly with a bodkin, and cure for durability and shine.
