Back To Tying...

My latest bass tie is called the Boa Yarn Crawler.  Used a new-to-me technique to make its tail with an eyelash yarn.  It's called furling.

Furling is the process of twisting a section of yarn, attached to the hook shank, so that it will twist onto itself when its tag end is tied back to the shank.

Materials:

• Spirit River Real-Eyes Plus 7/32" Dumbbell Eyes - nickel/yellow.
• Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Embroidery Thread (40-wt.) - Chona Brown #51.
• Lion Brand Suede Chenille - Canyon (discontinued).
• Bernat Boa Yarn - Dark Mink #46913.
• Kiwi Boot Lace - brown.
• Eagle Claw Weedless Hook 249WA-1/0.

The tail is extremely limp and lightweight.  Total lure length is approximately 5 to 6 inches.
