Materials:
  •  Eagle Claw 249WA-3/0 Weedless Hook
  •  Bullet Weights Rubber Grip Sinker - 1/8 ounce
  •  Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Embroidery Thread (40-wt.) - temple gold
  •  Faceted beads - yellow (3) and red (2)

  •  Diamond willow leaf blade #3-1/2 - silver
  •  Ball-bearing snap swivel

Tie on the tail, body, and eyes.  When finished, pinch the end of the wire loop weedguard with needlenose pliers in order to make it thin enough to accept beads.  Slide beads over weedguard.  Attach snap swivel by spreading its split ring and threading it through the end of the loop.  Add the blade and it's ready to fish.
