How to tie it
Slide the cone head on and start white GSP thread. Wrap back to the bend, no farther, and build a small thread bump at the very rear by holding a finger in place and wrapping up against it. (Red or orange thread here makes a hot spot.)
Take a white rabbit zonker strip cut to a point at the tie-in end and measure it about two body-lengths past the bend. Wet your fingers and part the hair at the tie-in point so you are binding hide, not fur.
Let the strip roll slightly under the shank as you bring it up and over, then pull hard and lash it down right against the thread bump. The bump holds the tail up and stops it fouling. Take wraps in front of the tie-in too.
Trim the front of the strip to a point from both sides on an angle; that both cleans up the tie-in and preps your next strip. Bind the thread forward and back so the chenille has a base.
Strip the outer fibers off the end of the white Mobster chenille to expose the core and tie the core in right against the rabbit strip. Wrap the chenille forward about five turns, stopping just short of the cone so there is room for the collar, then pull the last wrap tight so it seats up under the cone. Tie off and brush the fibers out.
Tie in six strands of red flashabou, three down each side, no longer than the tail. Reposition them on each wrap. They want to roll around the shank as they go into the cone. Trim any that run long.
Tie in the synthetic King marabou and take eight to ten turns as a collar behind the cone, brushing and stroking the material rearward every second or third turn. Tie off with three or four wraps on top and a few in front, tightening everything up against the cone. Trim.
Add head cement, then brush the collar hard with a barbecue brush so the King marabou fibers break up and blend into the rabbit. Trim some of the marabou off the underside so the Mobster chenille shows through, sort the flash back to three strands per side, and give the whole fly a final brush.
