MICRO GURGLER
 

Pattern Developed by:

Hook: Mustad down-eye streamer (3906B?) #14-8
Thread: 6/0 to match body color
Tail: Marabou, K-flash
Body: Micro Ice Chenille
Back: 2 mm craft foam strip, approx 3/8" wide (for a #12)


Tie in thread at barb. Tie in small bunch of marabou. Tie in 2 strands of
K-flash on both sides of the tail (I prefer metallics for dark colored
gurglers, matching colors for light)


Tie in strip of foam, excess pointed back off of the end of the hook. Tie
in ice chenille and wrap thread to behind eye.


Wrap chenille forward, tie off and trim. Pull foam forward and tie off.


Trim tag end of foam approx. 1/8" beyond eye. Whip finish and cement.
