50 Shades Of Hare's Ear


#24  Glass Bead Thorax.  Hare's Ear Blended With Antron


Hook:  Hends BL554, sizes 8-16 (Size 12 pictured)
Weight:  Tungsten sheeting cut into a strip and wrapped around the body portion only.
Bead:  (Optional)
Thread: UTC 70, Tan
Tail:  Hare's ear taken from the cheek, bleached
Rib:  Lagartun, flat gold, small
Body:  Hare's ear, bleached and blended with Antron
Wingcase:  Ozark Oak mottled turkey
Thorax:   (2) 11/0 Japanese Toho glass beads, galvanized pink lilac

Notes:

(1)  Try various glass bead colors.   Even though some colors appear subtle, glass beads reflect a tremendous amount of light.
(2)   The number and size of bead is dictated by hook style and size
(3)  The beads are placed on the hook first.  Once the tail and body are complete tie in wingcase. Ensure you have plenty of room behind the eye.  Wind dubbing behind, between and in front of each bead.  Secure wingcase.
