I've been using this leech this year, another that I favored last year isn't working so well.
Materials: Bead, thread color and simiseal, your choice. This combo has been good however, or brown with a gold bead.
Add bead to hook and lay thread base,
Even ends of simiseal, measure to body length, and tie in up shank to secure bead then fold over and wrap back. Pluck, trim to length
place simiseal in a dubbing loop, twist around for short, or place fibers out sideways for long, spin and brush out (sorry blur)
Hold brushed edge back while wrapping
Wrap forward, tie off and whip
Brush it back
Quickly dip in 190 deg. H20 to relax fibers a bit and sculpt
It doesn't seem to matter how ugly it is, it works.
