- Thread the beads onto a length of monofilament with the small holes together and tie the ends together to form a loop.
- Run on the tying thread, place the looped mono on top of the hook and a secure with a few thread wraps.
- Position the beads on either side of the hook eye, pull the loop back and secure with thread wraps over the mono and then make cross wraps between the eyes. Cut off the waste mono.
- Cut a length of cat gut and soak in warm water for a few minutes.
- Tie in at the bend and bind down up the hook.
- Wind the gut around the hook once, then twist and continue winding forward in touching turns. Tie in and trim off the waste.
- Strip the fibres from the base of a partridge feather and snip out the tip. Tie in with the fibres on either side of the hook.
- Dub the thorax up to the bead. Smear the thread with varnish and whip finish behind the beads.
