I don’t know if this flay has a name but I call it the cripple buzzer. It is good for trout taking buzzers a few inches below the surface and is meant to represent a failed emerging buzzer.

Run the tinsel down to the lower part of the abdomen and back up again to the tying in point.

Cut off the tinsel and then counter wind the rib in a nice even spacing (do what I say, not what you see I do).
