find a good blood quill marabou feather like this, nice and flat


keep feathers like this for woolly bugger tails!


step two: stroke fibers out from stem like so and tie in feather by the tip




step three: Palmer feather forward sweeping the fibers back as you go


step four: repeat palmering step with 1-2 more feathers


step five: tie in pink marabou on either side for stripes


step six: tie in olive for the back


step seven: create a nice neat head


step eight: Place front hook in vise (one size larger than rear) start thread


step nine: Thread connection through rear hook eye and slip on 3 glass beads (really cheap at walmart in fishin section!!)


step ten: tie in connection and apply zap-a-gap



step eleven: tie in pearl crystal flash as a skirt i use 6-10 stands. Trim to desired length


step twelve: Palmer 3-4 white marabou feathers for body


step thirteen: Tie in pink stripes and olive back marabou feathers


body should now look like this


step fourteen: take a good clump of sculpin wool and stack on top of hook shank


step fifteen: stack white wool along the bottom (alternate between stackin olive on top and white on bottom, slightly packing each stack. Remember to use thicker clumps to form a nice finished head)


step sixteen: Take a razor or scissors and carefully trim the head to a thin profile



step seventeen: apply zap-a-gap to 7mm doll eyes and apply to both sides of head. Fine tune your trimming as needed


notice how tightly packed the head is


keep the profile of the head thin




pretty soon you'll have a whole pool full of nice rainbows!



there's the step by step
