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) Now epoxy an even head and allow to cure. Avoid vigourous mixing
as it causes unsightly bubbles as shown below.

4) Tie in a bunch of flash above the barb of the hook with 3 Hackle
Feathers either side of the hook Shank Deceiver style.

5) Tie in the bucktail of choice above and below the hookshank
forming the classic Deceiver
shaped body. Then Tie in some Ostrich Herl on top of the Bucktail and
add some more lateral Flash.

6) Finish with a Cactus Chenille collar
behind the head.

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.
