Step 3:
Prepare 4-6 Cod de Leon (CDL) fibers.
Step 4:
After pinching the CDL fibers between your thumb and index finger, use the “pinch wrap method” and tie them in facing away from the bend of the hook forming a shank length tail. Add two thread wraps under the tail, lifting them slightly upwards. Cut the access CDL material just behind the bead.
Step 5:
Create a smooth tapered body with the Olive/Brown thread.
Tip: Spin the thread anti-clockwise to flatten/open the thread which will enhance the smooth profile.
Step 6:
Whip finish not more than two wraps bind the bead.
Cut the Olive/Brown Thread close.
