As a lure, this and the original “Baby Doll” have got to be one of the easiest lures to tie. It is also, like the original, a very cheap lure as it mainly uses a selection of wool.MaterialsHook- long shank sizes 6,8,10 and 12. A mini version can also be tied on a size 10 or 12 down eyed conventionally shanked hook. Working silk-black. Body and back-black wool Rib-wide silver tinsel. This is to give the lure that extra flash. Tail-bright lime green wool.Tying Instructions1. Wind in a few turns of working silk at the start of the bend.2. Tie in a short length of the lime green tail.3. Tie in three lengths of black wool. Two of them are about 14/z inchand the other about 4 inches long.4. Tie in the tinsel.5. Wind the silk on leaving it about 1/8 inch from the eye of the hook.6. Wind the longest on the longest length of black wool in tight turnsto form an oval shaped body. Tie off the wool about 1/8 inch from theeye of the hook.7. Wind on the wide silver tinsel in open turns and tie off at the samespot as the wool.8.

Note: Black varnish can be used and a white eye painted on if required. In all honesty, although this makes the lure more attractive, I do not believe that it makes any real difference to the effectiveness of the lure.
