Cannibal Flies: Step By Step Perch using Deer Creek Laser dub

Step by Step Perch with Deer Creek Laser Dub

You will need

Deer Creek Laser Dub, Resin, Eyes
Partridge of Redditch Ad Swier 6/0 Hook
Danvilles 210 Denier Flat Waxed Thread

Thread Bed to build from

So the first step being to lay down a bed of thread onto the shank of the hook, here im using Danvilles flat waxed 210d in fluro red

Select laser Dub

Next up I choose the desired laser dub colour, in this case Chartreuse and remove a piece around 6" long as pictured

Place onto the shank

Place across the shank evenly and secure down with a few wraps of thread

Pull the dub back around the other side of the hook

Distribute the dub around the other side of the hook and secure down with a few wraps of thread over the first 3-5mm to ensure the dubbing does not simply get pulled out in the next step

Time for a good brush through

Brush gently

Brush through the dub with starting at the tip and working your way back to the hook

Post brushing

After being brushed simple form back smoothly with your fingers

Next section of dub

Take the next section of dubbing and gently pull apart so that when you place it onto the hook it goes around the hook well

Position the dub around the hook

Secure down with a few wraps of thread

Ensure the thread is secure

Position the next section of dub the other side of the hook

Push back with your fingers

Secure down the front with some thread

Brush out and your left with this

Now for some Olive 6" as all the others

Secure down with thread

Secure as before

After Brushing

Time for some Orange

As before split to go around the hook

Back to the Chartreuse

Moving forward up the hook

After Brushing you start to see the shape forming

Take your time and don't worry about losing material while brushing

You can swap and change the colours for your own preferences

I wanted the Chartreuse inside the rear like this hence starting with it

Ensure you make sure the dub is distributed as you desire before moving on

Brush at every stage

More Olive

Nearly at the eye of the hook

Chartreuse on top and orange on the bottom to finish

A good brush through

After forming back form a thread barrier in front of the material and whip finish before a final brushing

Add stripes or not to your own taste

Choose some eyes and secure

After adding stripes with a pro marker choose eyes and secure as you desire. I place small amount of resin on the back of the eye and then place into position and secure around the front thread and a small bead onto the eye as shown
