If tied with an inverse hook to avoid snagging, we can fish it close to the bottom making a perfect catfish or pancora imitation.The head is not made of lead but made of a lighter material that allows us to cast the fly with a #6 line easily. There’s some weight at the back so the eyes always point upwards. Rabbit hair gives great moves to the fly making it a good one for fish that are hunters. Guides will appreciate this one because it is so easy to tie and replace lost flies.

Pasos
Paso 1
Needle a rabbit strap. Hairs should point towards the hook bend, the hook will be inverse to avoid snagging.
Paso 2
Make a hollow body with rabbit dubbing. Start at the front, tie the dubbing up to the bend, then add another dubbing layer above it. Dubbing should cover half the hook or less.Where the dubbing ends, tie an olive rabbit strap and make a hackle towards the front. Leave some space for the head and the thread lock. You can try doing this with the head you will use. I used olive Two Tone rabbit with black tips. Ver más...Make a hollow body with rabbit dubbing.

Paso 3
Comb the hackle so as to work with the back, that we’ll then set down. Try placing the head, it should fittight so it sticks perfectly.
Paso 4
Set down the back and tie it before the hackle, then tie a strap of orange rabbit at each side.
Paso 5
Tie two strands of Krystal Flash at each side, glue the head with epoxy or cianoacrilate. With the fluorescent thread tie before the head so as to lock it. Glue the eyes to finish our Skulpin Bunny.
