STEP 1 : Catch in some Fine Oval Silver Tinsel as the thread is wound down the hook.
STEP 2 : Take a bunch of marabou and catch in roughly opposite the barb. Make sure that the marabou has been prepared by removing the fluff. Return the thread to a position about 1/3 the length of the hookshank from the eye.
STEP 3 : Wind the marabou ends up the hookshank and secure with thread. Trim excess.
STEP 4 : Wind the silver oval tinsel up the body, 4 turns should be sufficient. Tie off with thread and trim waste,
STEP 5 : Dub some red seals fur onto the thread to build up a thorax and whip finish.
Final : Finally pinch the tail between thumb and fore-finger to the required length and pick out the seals fur fibres with a dubbing needle.
