  3. Tie in several peacock herls and twist them into a rope.
  4. Wrap the peacock rope forward to the eyes to form a buggy, iridescent body.
  5. Figure-8 two or three rubber legs along the body so they splay and undulate.
  6. Add a dubbed collar behind the eyes to prop the legs if needed, then whip finish and cement.
