    Part 2

    cross-wrap over top to where you want next segment and repeat wrap



    and again



    one more at the hook eye (I know; insects have 3-segment body but fish don't seem to care)



    use razor to cut back end (parallel to hook shank)



    trim back end to point (this is why I pre-trimmed the foam; scissors seem to grab foam better and makes it easier to maintain the pointed shape)





    add front legs
