Slotted tungsten bead Orange slotted tungsten bead (3.3 mm (up to 3.8 mm on this size))
Coq de Leon fibers Medium pardo (3-5 fibers)
Wire Red wire (0.2 mm, one length)
Peacock herl Natural peacock herl (2 strands)
CDC (or black hare's dubbing) Natural / black cdc (One side of a feather for the thorax)
Head cement Clear head cement (1 drop)
How to tie it
Slide the orange tungsten bead onto the jig hook and start GSP thread behind it, running back down the shank.
Take three to five Coq de Leon medium pardo fibers with the tips lined up and tie them in as a tail, one body-length long (never more than 1.5x). Stop the wraps just past the hook point, and take one wrap under and one over the tail so the fibers cock up and do not get pulled down.
Wax the thread, then tie in the 0.2 mm red wire, pushing the end right into the slot of the bead as deep as it will go so there is no lump. Bind it down and set it aside at the front.
Tie in two strands of natural peacock herl at the front, bind them back to the tail, and return the thread to the bead. Take a couple of extra turns right at the jig head where herl likes to break.
Wrap the peacock herl forward to the bead in touching turns, keeping clear of the hook point. Flatten the thread so it grips over a wider base, tie the herl off and trim.
Counter-rib the red wire forward through the herl in four or five turns, tie off with two wraps on top and two in front, and helicopter the wire away.
Prepare one side of a CDC feather, cut it free, and spin it into a waxed dubbing loop or split thread. Spin it up tight and take two full turns right behind the bead. That will use the whole feather. (A black hare's dubbing thorax is the alternate version.)
Stroke all the CDC back, take a couple of wraps over the top to lock it, whip finish behind the bead holding the fibers clear, and add a drop of head cement.
