| Make a rubberleg sewing needle by heating the eye of a hook
|
| with a cigarrette liter. Then jamb the glowing eye of the hook
|
| down onto the point of another needle, to widen the eye enough.
|
|
|
| Then sew a length of rubberleg material up into the body, with
|
| the two tags ends both penetrating upwards through the body.
|
|
|
| Pull the two tag ends of the rubber leg material (almost) tight
|
| around the tube of a fly tying bobbin,
|
| to form a small rubberleg loop on the underside of the foam body.
|
| Clip the two tag ends of the rubberlegs flush with the top
|
| surface of the body. Put a small drop of ZapCA super glue over
|
| the stub ends of the rubberleg material to lock them in place
|
| permanently.
|
|
|
| This loop will hold the hook in place in a later step.
