The Hot Stuff Bait-Fish Step By Step

Hot Stuff Bait-fish

Materials Used in this tying

  • Long Hackle feathers in Chartreuse
  • Deer Creek Gliss n Glint Lemon Sherbet 
  • Red Fluro Bucktail 
  • Danvilles Fluro Red flat waxed 210 Denier 
  • Partridge of Redditch CD45 6/0 Hook

A bed of thread to build from

Tie in the feathers evenly distributed

Take some Gliss n Glint and pull a taper into it

Tie it in the middle if the Gliss n Glint and disperse around the hook shank

Use an empty Biro tube to evenly push the material back then form a cone of thread in front of it to hold it back

Take enough bucktail to go around the hook once discard any odd size strands 

Tie in the bucktail forward of the Gliss n Glint and allow it to go all around the hook before tightening the thread

Cone of thread in front of the bucktail to hold it back

with another section of Gliss n Glint cut in half and place half on top of the hook and secure with thread

The other Half  below the hook and secure with thread and push back with the biro, then a cone of thread to hold back

Whip finish and place on eyes and secure with resin in this case I've used the Flex type

Fly finished give it a comb to suit your taste
