A Cocktail Blob by 'Jayscott'

Here's my SBS... decided to go something simple yet effective.

'Cocktail Blob'

Dressing
Hook - Scorpion Competition Heavy sz 10
Thread - Uni 8/0 Fire Orange
Tail - Pearl Flashabou
Back Body - Yellow Standard Fritz
Front Body - Orange UV 15mm Fritz

Materials and tools used


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


2- Select four strands of the flashabou


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.


Apply varnish and its ready to fish!  :cool:

Cheers,

Jay
