Tentacles - Super Hair Base, Long Krystal Flash for the feeding tentacles, Syn-yak

Mantle - Layers of Super Hair

Fins - Hula Wrap

Flash - Amount Optional - Angel Hair

There are Two tricks to this tie.

First mounting the eyes. I epoxy the eye to two strands of 50# mono so that they can work with and against each other to support to eye and cause vibrations in the water. I loosely wrap the mono to the side of the hook shank then carefully pull on the top strand to work the eye into position.

The Super Hair in the Tentacles is tied in first, and then stiffened with Softex.

The Super Hair mantel is tied in like the Classic Maine fly the Groceries. The Super hair is first tied down at its mid point, then thread is wrapped BEHIND the super hair to stand it up. Then the other half of the hair is folded back, and flaired around the thread wraps to create a viel. This is done to build volume without bulk and to cause the materials to quiver in the water.

Colors probably don’t matter, but I like my squid to have touches of pink yellow and orange. White and Chartreuse also work well, as does purple.

Hook: Mustad 3366 or Gamakatsu BS10 1, 2, or 4
Thread: to match body
Tail: Magnum Cut Bunny Strip with a 1 inch piece of 30lb+ of mono tagged into the strip to keep the tail from fouling.
Back: Marabou Feather to match the tail
Belly: Marabou Feather to contrast the back tail
Head: Spirit River Palmer Chenille to match the Back and Tail
Eyes: 3D Eyes glued in place

Use in an assortment of colors and using barred bunny strips make this thing look hot.

This is a Jerry Darkes pattern.

The most important part here is the the stiff mono to keep the tail from fouling. Use a needle to thread the mono through the bunny strip, then I melt the end to make sure it doesn’t slide back through. Tie this in to the shank of the hook.
