How to Tie the Game Changer Micro
- 1
Step 1
Start with the rear-most body segment. Secure it in the vise and tie in a marabou tail with flash at the rear.
Work from the tail forward, connecting each segment as you go.
- 2
Step 2
Tie a sparse clump of craft fur around the rear segment, allowing fibers to extend back and blend with the tail.
- 3
Step 3
Connect the next body segment to the first by threading wire through the eyelets. Secure in vise.
- 4
Step 4
Tie craft fur around this segment, slightly more material than the previous for a tapered profile.
Each successive segment should be slightly bulkier toward the head.
- 5
Step 5
Repeat connecting segments and tying craft fur, adding 3-5 total segments. Add lateral flash on the middle segments.
- 6
Step 6
On the final front segment, mount the hook. Tie additional craft fur to build the head profile.
- 7
Step 7
Apply Fish-Skull Living Eyes or 3D adhesive eyes to the head. Coat the head with UV resin for durability.
Cure UV resin in thin coats to avoid excess weight at the head.
- 8
Step 8
Check that all segments articulate freely. Pick out any trapped fibers with a bodkin.
