Body Tying thread (olive/pheasant-tail color) or thin dubbing (as needed)
Rib Copper Ultra Wire, small (4-5 turns)
Hot spot Ice Dub, UV shrimp pink (pinch)
How to tie it
Slide the slotted tungsten bead onto the hook, slot forward, and start thread behind it.
Tie in 5-6 Coq de Leon fibers for a one-shank-length tail and secure the butts forward.
Tie in the copper wire at the tail, then build a smooth, slightly tapered body of tying thread (or a fine dubbing noodle) up to the 75% mark. The thread body is the point of this variant, quicker and thinner than pheasant tail.
Counter-wrap the copper wire forward in 4-5 open turns to rib and reinforce, and break it off.
Dub a short UV shrimp pink hot spot behind the bead, whip finish and add a drop of UV resin over the body for durability and shine.
