How to tie it
Seat a gold slotted tungsten bead behind the eye of the jig hook. Start red thread behind the bead and run it to the bend.
Tie in 6-8 coq de leon pardo tail fibers about half a shank-length long; bind the butts forward for a smooth slim underbody.
Form the body: wind a red quill forward to just behind the bead (or build a tapered body from the red thread). Keep it thin so it sinks fast.
Switch to fluorescent red thread, wind 2 turns of holographic red tinsel, then a short tight collar of red thread directly behind the bead. Whip finish.
Coat the whole body and collar with thin UV resin and cure to a glossy shell, keeping the bead face clean.
