STEP 4
Forward tie the fox underwing. Don’t worry about leaving a wee nib of fur as It won’t get seen and actually helps prop the wing up.
Step 5
Apply a few turns of schlappen.
Pop on the fox overwing slightly longer than the held back underwing. By now, you should have that nice tear drop shape to it. Apply a few turns of schlappen.
Step 6 and Finishing up
Pair up some JC cheeks and tie in tight to flare them out slightly. Finish off the head and super glue.
Before dry, snug up the turbo disc. Cut the tubing about 1/8th of an inch past the cone and melt in place just as before.
Tips
When melting the plastic, keep it in on the pin as this stops the center from closing in and you won’t have trouble threading the leader through. I always Insert about a 1/2 of junction tubing with the hook at this point. It is handy to the this done in advance to save some scrambling around on the river.
