How to tie it
Tie in the weighted eyes a hook-eye's width back from the front with tight figure-8s so a bulky head can be built around them later.
At the bend, tie in a marabou plume for the tail about one shank long, then a few strands of Krystal Flash the same length.
Tie in 3-4 hen or schlappen feathers by the tips and palmer them forward one at a time, packing each tightly and stroking fibers back to build a fat, alive, wobbling body up to the eyes.
Lash one sili leg to each side just behind the eyes so they kick out from the body.
Spin a sparse dubbing noodle and figure-8 it around the eyes to form a bulky head that hides the wraps. Remember, half the dubbing you think.
Whip finish behind the eye and add a drop of cement.
