Part 1


mash barb, attach thread







measure a clump of marabou for length (hook gap) and tie in













since you forgot to tie in the eyes first, do it now and act like nothing ever happened (not that it really matters)

mash it in the horizontal orientation, brush with Super Glue










cover with thread wraps to smooth out body and tie in ribbing
