Step 1

|
Slide a bead onto the
hook, secure it in the vise and add some lead wire for
weight |
Step 2

|
Push the lead wire into
the back of the bead and secure it with the thread. |
Step 3

|
Tie in a tuft of hair
from a rabbit zonkerstrip. Cut the waste right behind the
lead wire wraps to get a smooth transition without bumps. |
Step 4

|
Tie in a
black hen hackle in the tip end. |
Step 5

|
Dub the thread with a
black dubbing of choice. Here it's Hareline Hare's Fur
dubbing. |
Step 6

|
Wrap the dubbed thread
all the way up to the bead. |
Step 7

|
Start the hackle with a
full wrap and then palmer it forward. Finish with
another full wrap before it's tied off just behind the bead. |
Step 8

|
Whip-finish
behind the bead. |
Done...

|
The baby
version for the monster trout. |
