How to tie it
Slide the 3.5 mm silver slotted tungsten bead onto a size 18 jig hook and start the white thread, building a thread dam behind the bead so it is held straight and cannot move.
Run the thread all the way back to where the barb would be and then forward again.
Take six to eight Coq de Leon tailing fibres, measure them against the hook at about the length of the body or a little less, and tie them in.
Run the thread back to the tail point and put in one wrap behind the fibres to kick them up so they do not get pushed down, then come forward and trim the butts.
Wrap the white thread in touching turns the whole length of the shank. The white underbase matters: it covers the dark hook and makes the Glo-Brite body glow far brighter in the water.
Tie in Glo-Brite purple no. 15 and wrap the body, then advance the thread forward and capture it. Using the white thread for the underbody rather than tying the whole fly with Glo-Brite keeps the body thin, the floss on its own is too thick.
Colour the white thread at the head with a pink marker and build the hot spot up with it, then whip finish and trim.
Add Solarez resin, putting some straight into the bead slot to fill it and the rest along the body. Spread it with a bodkin and wipe most of it back off, then spin the fly to let the resin even out.
Cure under the light, spinning for the first ten seconds or so, then finish curing.
Once dry, add a small pad of black Sally Hansen Hard as Nails on top as a wing case.
