Wrap thread onto the hook shank from about 1mm behind the eye to the start of the hook bend. Tie in the marabou tail material by making two loose wraps followed up with 3 to 5 tight wraps.
Tie in flat tinsel at forward end of body with 3 to 5 tight wraps. Wrap tinsel over thread to the base of the tail. Wrap tinsel forward. Tie off with 3 to 5 tight wraps.
Attach marabou wing with 2 loose wraps. Reposition wing to desired location and secure with 5 tight wraps.
Take a bunch of deer hair the size of 2 match sticks and attach it to the hook with 3 loose thread wraps. Tighten the tension and the hollow hair will spin and flare around the hook shank. Secure with 5 tight wraps. Repeat this process 1 or 2 more times until the head area is full of spun hair. Secure with 5 tight wraps and whip finish. Place a drop of head cement in thread wraps.
Clip hair with scissors to a bullet like shape.
