Tying instructions
- Debarb and place bead on hook.
- Wrap in just enough thread behind the bead to lock the bead against the hook eye.
- Tie in your D-rib. Be sure the tag end doesn't hang over the bead. Pull up on the tag end and cut flush. By pulling up on the D-rib it will snap back making a clean appearance with the rest of the body.
- Wrap the D-rib around the hook. Adjust the tension while wrapping by stretching the material. This will help give the body a tapered look. Start working your way back to the barb. Be sure to do side-by-side wraps. Don't overlap. Once you’re just past the hook barb then overlap and start your way back to the bead.
- Tie off the D-rib just behind the bead. Pull up on it and cut off flush.
- Wrap your thread just behind the bead and create a tapered look up to the bead. Whip finish and coat the thread only with head cement.
