Step 4:
Add .20mm or medium size lead wire with touching wraps covering about three quarters of the hook shank. Secure it with a drop Super Glue (optional).
Step 5:
Cover the lead with the black thread as much as possible keeping a smooth profile ending before the bend of the hook.
Prepare some black marabou (about 3-5cm from one side of a stem). Remove the “fluff” from the thicker side of the fibers using your thumbnail (see picture below). This will create a thinner body profile to prevent bulking up materials.
Step 6:
Tie in the marabou tail and finish a smooth body with the thread.
Step 7:
Make sure the thread is behind the bead before continuing with the next step.
With the black fine hares dubbing, create a thin even rope on the thread.
