How to tie it
Slide a cone head and then a bead onto the saltwater hook, push both up to the eye, and lay a thread base from behind them all the way back to where the bend starts.
Cut two magnum rabbit strips, one black and one olive, to matching lengths so the hides end just short of the bead when the strips are mounted.
Pierce the olive strip and thread it onto the hook point so it sits centered on the shank, then tie the hide down at the start of the bend as the under-body (belly), skin side up and hair swept clear of the wraps.
Lay the black magnum strip on top of the shank at the same point and tie its butt down as the over-body, keeping the hair out of the thread wraps.
Tie a standard orange rabbit strip along each side at the same tie-in point with the skin facing out, rolling each one into place so it forms a lateral line; these two extra strips are what make it a Quad rather than a Double Bunny.
Bring the thread forward to just behind the bead. Pull the two orange lateral strips forward one at a time, tie each down behind the bead and trim the butt sections.
Pull the black top strip forward, tie it down behind the bead and trim, then do the same with the olive belly strip so the four strips form the body.
Trim all the butt stubs neatly, then tie in three or four peacock herls by the tips and wrap them forward and back to build a full collar that hides the tie-down mess and suggests gills. Tie off and snip.
Whip finish or half hitch behind the bead.
Marry the tail ends: put a small amount of Tear Mender on the underside of the top strip near the rear, press the two strips together and hold until they adhere. This keeps the tail from fouling while staying flexible.
