Not sure if there's an ether leak at the factory but they do have some interesting patterns. Change colors/size to suit your needs.

hook - Dai Riki 280 #8
underbody - non-tox .030
thread - Danville 6/0 black
tail - biots gold
rib - oval tinsel gold
abdomen - dubbing cream
thorax - Ice Dub hot orange
wing - pheasant rump dyed brown (I think they used partridge but I'm having fun with the pheasant)
