| Body | White thread. Start at hook bend attaching eggs about 5 or 6 for tail, different lengths. Then attach a long piece of 6lb Monofilament Nylon and leave for later stage.
Continue attaching eggs along the hook shank at different angles to the hook until you reach a point near the hook eye. Note: Once you have attached each egg trim off the extra
piece of nylon. Each time apply a tiny drop of super glue on the thread and mono. Now, taking Veniard Glister Dubbing (Chartreuse), stretch out a portion of dubbing to about 4 inches and twist the fibres. Starting at the hook bend again, catch in with your thread and then bring your thread all the way to the hook eye. Now wind the Dubbing along the hook shank weaving in between each egg and apply a few turns of thread, securing the dubbing near the hook eye. Repeat again with another portion of dubbing, again starting at the hook bend and securing near the hook eye. Now wind the 6lb Monofilament that you have waiting along the hook shank, again weaving in between the eggs. Finally tie off the thread making a neat head. Apply a little super glue on the head thread. Use velcro hook tool on fibres.
This pattern shown here was weighted with lead wire but it sinks very well without lead.
