Bloodworm
Hook: 14-10, 2X
Thread: 8/0 red
Tail: 2 short strands of red super floss
Body: red super floss or red acetate floss.
Rib: Silver wire or pearl flashabou
Note: Most common color is red or maroon, but brown and even green larva can be found as well. So you may want to have a couple of these in different colors, just in case.

Tying Instructions:

1) Tie in 2 strands of superfloss at hook bend. Lay the superfloss in an X like fasion so that they will form a V.
2) Trim the 2 strands, short.
3) Tie in superfloss, keeping thread wraps tight and to a minimum to prevent bulk.
4) Tie in thin silver wire for ribbing.
5) Wrap superfloss foward tightly. Tie off the superfloss at the eye of the hook.
6) Wrap silver wire foward, try to keep segmentation even between wraps. Tie in ribbing at eye of hook, trim excess, whip finish, and head cement.
