1. Wrap the thread around the hook shank, from front to back, up to the point of the hook. The wide, pointed part of the foam body (the “big ass”) should extend beyond the bend of the hook by about 1/4 inch in length; also leave a gap of about 1/4 inch in length at the front of the rubber, to form the head there later.
2. Before attaching the foam body, make an incision under its front part, without penetrating more than half of its thickness. Later, you will put a few drops of glue on it to prevent the foam body from rotating around the hook shank.
3. Place the base of the foam body on the hook shank, pinch it to hold it in place and tie it to the tip of the hook point with several very tight turns of thread. You have just formed the "waist", in front of the "big ass". Then lift the front part of the rubber to wrap the thread forward; take the opportunity to deposit the glue in the incision already made. Then fold the front end of the rubber over the hook shank and tie it securely to its end with several tight turns of thread. You have thus formed the "thorax" in front of the "waist".
4. The two wings are each formed from a pinch of gray squirrel tail hair. The wings must not be longer than the rubber and must be attached to each side of it, forming a 45-degree angle laterally with the hook shank. Apply glue to the attachment point of the wings and cut off the excess hair. Form the head with two or three wraps of a piece of orange chenille. Place a few drops of glue on the hook shank to prevent it from slipping. Finish everything with finishing knots and varnish.
