A few minor changes; subbed palmer chenille to wrap with the cc rabbit and hackled with guinea instead of schlappen. Change colors to suit your needs. BTW, have no idea where the down-eyed ss hook came from since I don't own any; may have swiped it from my neighbor.


hook - TDE Stainless of unknown origin; #1/0
thread - UTC 140 hot pink
flash - Krystal Flash purple
tail - zonker strip purple
body - cross-cut rabbit purple/palmer chenille purple
hackle - guinea fuschia
eyes - dumbell large silver


Part 1


mash barb; poke a hole in rabbit strip and push it on the hook






tie on eyes; brush wraps with Super Glue




tie on KF; fold and wrap back to bend






pull rabbit forward, separate fibers at tie-down point with bodkin; tie down/trim
