Build the Irish Car Bomb with black thread on a No. 3-5 gold Alec Jackson hook. Use red hen fibers for the tail. Tie in oval gold tinsel and create the body with chartreuse floss and synthetic black dubbing. Rib with the tinsel. Tie a wing with black deer or elk hair. Add Krystal Flash above the wing. Wrap a long black hackle as an underlay then wrap a dyed chartreuse guinea hackle to finish.
