    Default Yeager's Tantrum SBS




    3 layers of foam, and deer hair! Cast it along a black hole's event horizon and it won't go down. Tried to stay true to the parts list, but the pink indicator doesn't do much for me.




    hook - Mustad 9671 #6
    thread - UTC 140 tan
    butt/sac - foam black
    body - 2mm foam (3 layer sandwich)
    wing - Congo Hair white
    indicator - Mcflyfoam pink
    collar/head - elk hair
    legs - medium rubber barred tan


    Part 1



    mash barb and attach thread at 66% mark; wrap back to point above barb





    tie in a 2mm x 2mm strip of foam







    poke a hole in a strip of tan foam (hook gap width) and slide on at hook point





    align with hook shank and attach with wrap at the butt







    pull foam over butt and tie in on top (not sure if this is Yeager's method but it insures the bottom foam is securely tied down)





    tie in top layer of foam (taper end)
