SpeyCo Conehead Tube:
A 92mm SpeyCo pipette tube has been cut into sections as shown
The ends of the tube sections are heat flared
a medium gold conehead is slid onto the selected tip section in the vice
The conehead leaves a small mark on the tube
This marked area is further marked clearly with a Sharpie pen – indicating the furthest extent of the tying thread, so that everything fits under the conehead at the end
14/0 GG sheer thread is started at the rear, and silver oval tinsel tied in
Some flat silver tinsel is then tied in
The flat tinsel is wrapped over the rear 3/5 of the tube
A yellow cock hackle is then selected
