• Tag : Fine oval silver tinsel and no. 5 fire orange glo brite flourescent floss - I use around 30 strands
• Rib : Oval silver tinsel
• Hackle : Black cock saddle hackle tied at head and palmered down tube to the tail
• Wing : Start by tying in a bunch of bright yellow artic fox tail tied in with tips facing forward over the front of the tube, then fold back and secure. Fibres of yellow lite brite and pearl flashabou strands over. Then a bunch of hot orange arctic fox is tied in as normal with more lite brite, colours of choice, and pearl flashabou over. Next comes a bunch of black silver fox tail or black bear's belly hair for larger tubes to be tied in, then 4 strands of bronze peacock herl, fibres of black flashabou and silver holographic lite brite over that. And lastly another bunch of black fox or black bear hair over all. Over this is another bunch of black fox or black bear to finish off. On each side are 3 strands of silver holographic flashabou and a jungle cock feather.
• Throat : Strands of glo brite floss no 5, again, thicknes is a matter if choice
