    Default Grillos Later Skater SBS



    Simple, high-floating attractor; all that foam, hackle and rubber should push some water and pound up a few. Change colors to suit your needs.


    hook - Dai Riki 280 #10
    thread - UTC 140 tan
    body - opalescent tinsel medium
    overbody/head - 2mm foam tan
    wing - deer hair
    indicator - Congo Hair pink
    legs - rubber medium cornsnake
    hackle - brown

    Part 1


    Mash down barb and attach thread at head




    tie in tinsel




    wrap tinsel to bend in touching wraps, and back to tie-in point






    taper foam strip (hook gap width)




    measure for length (extend to hook bend), tie in






    brush a little Super Glue, advance thread to point behind eye and tie down, then smooth with thread wraps
