-eyes are optional I never add since the head is small and it is a waste.
-short 1" red bucktail at eye under shand for gills is optional.
color variations are up to you.
Tips.
-Keep thread tight so head is small
-don't take too many wraps over each material addition.
-add drop of glue after every couple of material additions.
-keep sparse and allow materials to form a spread out puffed up look.
this will make for pulsating action when stripped & stopped.
