Brahma and Gold

Brahma and Gold

Thread: 8/0 Uni Tan

Hackle: Whiting Brahma Hen

Body: 1 Strand of plastic from a supermarket onion bag

Rib: Same as the body but twisted into a cord

Tying note: I tied in the strand of plastic onion bag behind the eye of the hook and wrapped it back in a ribbon to the bend of the hook. I then attached my hackle plier to the plastic strip and twisted that into a cord/rope and wrapped forward as the rib.

Here's the onion bag. I bought the onions at Walmart but look in your favorite grocery store. The bags come in different colors. You will have to untangle the mesh to get some long strands for tying. The idea of using this material is from Hans Weilenmann.
