    Default slinky sard

    alright guys, this is my new pattern i've done for the sardine run, which unfortunately seems to have died again before it got to durbs. i'm going down this eve, and will probaby throw it anyways just in case...

    materials:
    hook: long shank strong hook. this SBS is on a Gama
    tail: kinky fibre in white, silver and black
    body: silver brush 1inch
    eyes: pseudo eyes (red ones for red-eye sard)
    weight: 5-10 wraps of lead, depending on your taste
    thread: white or red

    step 1 - put hook in vice and tie on thread

    step 4 - tie in a length of olive kinky fibre (for a sardine, silver) ontop of the white

    step 5 - tie in a small amount of black kinky fibre ontop of the olive

    step 6 - tie in your brush of choice. here i use a 1 inch olive brush (for sardine use silver brush)

    step 7 - palmer the brush forwards to just behind the hook eye and tie off.

    step 8 - use a brush and brush the fibres out to get any trapped fibres.

    step 9 - divide the head (brush) in half along the shank of the hook and pull it up ontop of the shank and down below the shank

    step 11 - put some epoxy on the back of the eyes and stick on. we want it to stick close to the shank, so i use a clothes peg to hold them in place. leave to dry.

    step 12 - use markers to colour in the back and add the spots and stripes.
