Note: Keep the hook in the normal position when tying in the 1st tail which is Marabou. Then turn the hook over and glide the hook point through the Zonker skin.

The body is made from Zonker fur which is palmered using the split thread technique and then trimmed to shape. Remember to use some sort of material clip when adding the fur to the thread.
