Jacob's Coat SBS

[ScottP]

Alec Jackson was looking for something to do with his tying table scraps and came up with this; he has a lot more imagination than I do, and cooler scraps


hook - Dai Riki 799 #6
thread - Danville 6/0 fluoro orange
tail - deer hair
body - oval gold tinsel, peacock herl, ostrich herl various colors
hackle - red and yellow, mixed



Part 1



mash barb, wrap thread back to hook point





measure a clump of deer hair (hook gap) and tie in; smooth with thread wraps









tie in tinsel





take a peacock herl and mixture of ostrich herl; tie it in







grab the herl and tinsel, twist into a rope (take a brush to the rope to release trapped fibers); wrap forward and tie off (repeat with the brush)
