Angora Bugger Tutorial

By: "wonderwear"
Steve Dean
Scott Depot, WV

A little birdie told me these will catch fish at Glade Creek.

Recipe

Hook: Daiichi 1750 (#6-#12)
Lead for added weight (optional)
Thread: To match Bugger
Bead head (Optional)
Rib: Copper wire
Tail: Marabou
Body: Goat

Step 1

Picture
Here I am trying to show how to add a bead to your hook without stabbing yourself. I use needle nose pliers on the larger hooks to hold the bead because it is sometimes hard to get the bead past the barb.

Step 2

Picture
Now its time to add the lead

Step 3

Picture
Now for a good thread base and wrap to the point of the hook.

Step 4

Picture
Add the tail, make it the length of the hook shank for great action. Also don't forget to get a good body shape by doubling back the feather ends.

Step 5

Picture
Now add your copper wire. I went past the hook point this time with the thread because I suck. Oh well, it'll fish.

Step 6

Picture
Now, make a good long dubbing loop and add your goat hair. Wrap the loop to the head and tie it off. I was making my loops 6-8 inches long, but maybe you fellers can do it with less.

Step 7

Picture

Now wrap the wire forward. I wrap my wire clock wise so it ties down better for me.

Step 8

Picture
Now take your pick or scissor point and pull out some of the hair between the wire wraps. I find that picking the hair from front to back works the best. You want to do this on the top and bottom only. Now tie it off after a few more thread wraps to clean it up a little. Here are some variations you may or may not like. (Below)
