I have put together a SBS for you all.

Black Cat Blob

Hook: Hayabusa #6 751
Thread: Red 140 Den UTC
Tail: Dave Downie Velvet Black
Body: Cat Green & Holo 15mm Fritz

1. Catch on in your usual way 5-6 turns is enough, but 2mm from the eye.

2. Prepare a Medium Sized Bunch of Marabou and clear away the flue from the end.

3. Catch in the Tail with a Pinched Loop, not forgeting to pull on the up stroke to ensure it stays on the top of the hook. And bind the tail down to the shank, inline with the barb is my general area.

Please Ignore my exposed flue Embarassed

4. Prepare your fritz by removing 1/2" of the fritz to expose the core.

5. Offer up the fritz so the beginning of the exposed core is where the tail is tied in.

6.Catch in the fritz, pinched loop again, and bind it down to the place where you started at the eye.

7.After each half turn make sure you stroke the fritz back, slightly dampened finges helps, and after 6 "butted" turns you will see the fritz "sloping" back nicely.

8. Make complete turns up to the eye, then reverse two turns and you should end up with this situation.

9. Bring the thread forward of the fritz, and add a dab of SuperglueGel, then take the fritz and make one final turn and pull down tightly for a few seconds. Trim away the waste fritz which will leave you with this.

10. Stroke back the fritz, moistened fingers again help, and make several turns, ensuring you catch no stray fibres and whip finish. That should hopefully leave you with a neat head and a finished Blob.

Hope this helps you all out in someway.

Cheers
Carl
