How to tie it

  1. Slide a silver tungsten bead onto the shank and set it about a third back from the eye for a level sink.
  2. Start thread, wrap to the bend, and tie in a slim white marabou tail a shank length long.
  3. Tie in pearl Fritz at the bend and wind it forward in touching turns to the bead.
  4. Half-hitch behind the bead to secure it, then wrap a short pearl body from the bead to the eye.
  5. Whip finish at the eye and cement.
