I was driving back from doing a bit of fishing. And was thinking about a few of my early day musky flies i have tied. Well i recalled that i used a braided mylar for a head once. This was tied reversed then pulled back, and i figure well hell this would make a great collar for marabou, or even your tradition intruder materials or prom dress. But i thought for marabou being that there is not any good way to keep the fly 'cone' like and as a plus its a synthetic(strength), and doesnt retain water. So i got home and hit the vise.
here is the result, lemme know you thoughts, enoy.
-I tied this on to a hmh 3/32 tube, use what you would like for size.
-cut off a section of braided mylar, slide onto tube, and tie on the back of it...
-continue to tie 'backwards' and add in flash braid, or whatever desired; wrap forward to the back of braided mylar, whip finish or half hitch. Cut. Throw on the thread sealer.
-pull mylar back, this will be your collar, i put a bit of nail polish hardener at the base to keep it stiff. Start your thread again in front of mylar.
-wrap in three desired colors of marabou, and palmer them back as you make your marabou wraps.
-add in schap. or hackle
-Create your head, whip finish or half hitch, lay down some finisher. If you want to add a cone head, add that in otherwise melt down your tube.
Then GET FISHY
