Pink Seducer

Pink Seducer

Hook = Size 6 Heavy Scud hook (500)
Thread = 6/0 - Red
Wire = Medium Ultra Wire - Pink

Thorax = Ice Dub - Pheasant Tail color
Hackle = Hen Saddle Any Medium Color
Collar = Ice Dub - Pheasant Tail color
Head = Red thread

I clamp the hook in the vise so the area by the eye is horizontal  to help when wrapping the hackle. Tie your jam knot leave one eye length back from the eye. Warp back so you are two eye lengths back.

Tie in the Medium Pink Ultra Wire on the side closest to you and wrap it down the shank. Wrap down 2/3  of the shank. Then wrap the thread back up to three eye lengths back from the eye.

Wrap the wire (in touching turns) up the shank to 3 eye lengths back from the eye. This will give the fly the weight it needs and create the body. Catch the wire in and tie it off. Clip off excess wire. Remember to stay clear of the no encroach zone (one eye length back).
Hint: I try to make the area the wire is tied in at level and even for a straight winding area for the hackle.

Make a small ball of dubbing from 3 eye lengths back to 2 eye lengths back. This dubbing ball will help keep the hackle up while stripping the fly back in.

Remove the fluff from the lower stem of the hackle and tie it in. remember to use the same rule as above (even and only to the no encroach area).

Wind two or three warps of hackle. Hint: gently fold back the hackle around the stem before wrapping it in.

Tie off the hackle (you will now be in the no encroach area). Trim off the excess hackle.

Dub a collar just in front and tight to the hackle. (You should have the hackle trapped between dubbing collars. 2 or 3 wraps of dubbing should be enough.

Create a small thread head right behind the eye. Whip finish or half hitch.
Note: I do cement or lacquer the head to keep the Sunnies from tearing it apart.

Flish - I leave this sink into the fishes zone. They will usually hit it on the fall. If no hits, I will jerk it forward and leave it fall again. You can also use a medium speed jerk retrieve.
