Foam Head Mullet

Hook: Gamakatsu B10S Stinger
Tail: 6-8 Grizzly Saddles, 4 strands Opal Crystal Flash, topped with Peacock Herl
Body: Tan Marabou (palmered), followed by 2 Grizzly Saddles (palmered) for the collar
Head: Tan, Closed-Cell Craft Foam with 3D Holographic Eyes

1. Tie saddles in just in front of hook bend. Add flash and top with peacock.
2. Palmer marabou in front of tail materials while leaving enough room for the hackle collar.
3. Tie in saddles for hackle collar. You can either twist (wrap) or palmer together.
4. Cut a heart-shape out of closed-cell craft foam and coat the inside with epoxy or super glue (CA) gel.
5. While stroking the hackle collar back, pinch the head onto the fly. Focus on anchoring the front portion. Since mullet have fairly broad heads, the rear of the foam is allowed to flare slightly on top of the hackle collar. For a more streamlined profile the entire head can be pinched flat.
6. Add eyes and coat with Loons Hard Head or epoxy of your choice.
