Tying Instructions
1) Crimp on a split shot behind the eye of the
hook. Crimp with a pair of pliers ensuring a flat face for the eye's.
Secure with Thread and Brush on Superglue

2) Stick the eyes onto the lead bead.

3) Tie in a bunch of white bucktail behind the eye with a few
strands of flash on top.

4) Tie in the coloured bucktail of choice above the white in two
sparse layers with a few strands of flash between each layer.

6) Top with a darker colour of choice or peacock herl.

6) Now apply epoxy over the eyes and wrappings forming a neat head.
Just before the epoxy sets wet finger tips with Foto Fo and shape head.
Colour epoxy head with permanent marker if desired.

Fish this fly with a fast strip and pause as used for a Clouser. The
weight of the split shot gives this fly a wonderful undulating motion
that is irresistable to shad and other gamefish.
