Step 1

Slide a bead onto the hook, secure it in the vise and add some lead wire for weight

Step 2

Push the lead wire into the back of the bead and secure it with the thread.

Step 3

Tie in a tuft of hair from a rabbit zonkerstrip. Cut the waste right behind the lead wire wraps to get a smooth transition without bumps.

Step 4

Tie in a black hen hackle in the tip end.

Step 5

Dub the thread with a black dubbing of choice. Here it's Hareline Hare's Fur dubbing.

Step 6

Wrap the dubbed thread all the way up to the bead.

Step 7

Start the hackle with a full wrap and then palmer it forward. Finish with another full wrap before it's tied off just behind the bead.

Step 8

Whip-finish behind the bead.

Done...

The baby version for the monster trout.
