Scotts Ginger Iso been wanting to do this one since i started watching his videos, but once he posted the steps i just had to do it. Few things i did differently. Added a gritty tungsten bead and hareline quick decent gold dub to the butt end and tied it on a fulling mill big bug size 12 hook, which required me to cut off the back pair of lively legs.
