1- Lock the thread and wind down the shank until you meet the bend of the hook.

3- Secure the flashabou with a few turns of thread

4- Double the flashabou back and cover with a layer of thread, this gives you a tail that will not be pulled off.

5- Prepare the fritz by pulling off a bunch of fibres to reveal the core (I used orange for demonstration purposes)

6- Secure the yellow fritz and wind in touching turns up the shank until half way pulling the fibres back as you go to allow a tidy body.

7- Follow on with the orange fritz until you meet the eye of the hook. Form a head and tie off.
