How to Tie Michael Kyles Mojo Leech
What You’ll Need
Hook
Diachi 1720 or TMC 5263, size 6-12
Thread
Danville 6/0, color to match body
Bead
Nickel, proportion to the hook size
Body
Mo-hair Leech Dubbing, custom blend by BCO
Step 1
Slide on the bead.
Step 2
Wrap some lead on the hook shank and slide it up against the bead. I usually do 12-20 wraps depending on the current speed I’m fishing.
Step 3
Grab a ball of dubbing blend and tie directly in the center of it.
Step 4
Fold the strands going forward and tie them back as well., tie on top just a little to force the rest back.
Step 5
Create a dubbing loop at the back of the fly.
Step 6
Wind it forward until you get behind the bead, snug it up as close as you can without adding too much bulk.
Step 7
With a soft comb or brush, comb the hair back to blend it with all the rest. Whip finish and glue it.
