    Default Beck's Super Bugger SBS




    First saw this at the College Park show years ago during a demo by Barry Beck. Looked pretty cool, wasn't too hard to tie and it caught fish; gets my vote.



    hook - Mustad 9671 #6
    thread - UTC 6/0 olive
    tail - marabou olive
    flash - Krystal Flash rootbeer
    body - hen saddle grizzly dyed olive
    gills - saddle grizzly dyed red
    legs - Sili legs olive
    eyes - lead painted yellow
    head - golden olive dubbing


    Part 1



    mash barb and attach thread at 75% mark (make 2 small bumps; the eye will sit in the "saddle")





    tie in eye on top of hook shank with figure 8 wraps; apply a little crazy glue to the wraps





    wrap back to bend and tie in some strands of Krystal Flash on top of hook; let butts hang over front of fly





    continue wrapping back to point above barb





    measure marabou blood (shank length) and tie in





    wrap marabou forward and trim





    take half of the Krystal Flash butts and tie down along near side; other half on far side







    prep a saddle hackle

    Part 2


    and tie in





    wrap hackle forward; keep it dense





    tie in another saddle





    and repeat





    and again (depending on shank length, you may need additional feathers)





    tie in red saddle





    and wrap; stop behind eyes





    tie in legs in front of eyes





    take half and pull back on near side





    secure behind eyes with a couple wraps

    Part 3


    repeat on far side





    grab legs, pull up and trim (shank length)







    split thread (Mr. Beck used pre-made dubbing ropes; those are nice but I don't have any and am too lazy to make some)





    and insert some dubbing





    spin the bobbin to create dubbing rope





    wrap dubbing behind, through and in front of eyes





    when you think you have enough on the head, whip and SHHAN





    trim Krystal Flash (let it extend a bit beyond tail) and you're done; try them in tan and black, too





    Regards,
    Scott
