    Default Deadly Cicada SBS



    Time for some Hemipterics. Saw a pic on a Kiwi site; took a wag at the sequence.

    hook - Mustad 94840 #8
    thread - UTC 140 tan
    abdomen - caribou spun/clipped
    head - 2mm foam tan
    eye - foam cylinder
    legs - medium rubber brown
    indicator - Congo Hair white
    hackle - ginger/grizzly

    Part 1

    mash barb, start thread at the back end




    clean a clump of caribou, trim tips; 2 soft loops, let it spin, then pack it






    repeat




    and again; tie off thread and trim




    flip it, lay a razor blade on the eye (to establish the underside) and push straight back






    trim to shape




    re-start thread, tie in a foam strip (a little more than gap width) facing back

    Part 2

    poke a hole where the hook eye intersects; pull foam up 'till the eye pokes through and tie down at eye








    brush a little Super Glue on the inside, insert foam cylinder and tie down






    tie in a hank of CH




    trim tag end of foam and eyes; post and tie in hackle (shiny side out, cup side up)
