Black thread base Three wraps of gold tinsel down hook bend and three wraps back to thread base Three or four fibers from scarlet hen hackle tied in for tail Four or five peacock herls, twisted into a rope with a dubbing loop, and wrapped around the hook shank for the body; the thread in the rope makes the herl more durable Grizzly hackle behind the eye, three or four wraps Whip finish and head cement
