fringe bead egg
insert the bead onto the hook
insert hook in vise
lay a base of red thread
slide bead onto the thread base
wrap thread dam on both sides of the bead to prevent the bead from sliding on the hook
whip finish and cut thread
apply head cement, epoxy or one of the new uv cure glues to hold bead in place
Nice Norm.
The hook you are using and the bead you are using (as shown), will most likely cause the hook to travel hook spear up, changing the the center of gravity of the hook. This is not a bad thing, with the offset bead near the hooks eye, you just created a jig hook for along the stream bed, with less chance of hooking into bottom debris.
fringe is right.
that would lend itself totally awesome to the “sucker spawn” pattern.
