| #2 Prepare the eyes: I used 30 lb red mono . Put the mono near a heat source (I used my alcohol lamp) keep rotating the mono getting it near the heat then backing out until you get the eyes to your liking. |
| #3 Tie in your eyes so they are facing down towards the hook. |
| #4 Tie in your claw material, I used orange rabbit strips for this tutorial. |
| #5 Tie in on each side to create the claws separated by the bucktail in the center. |
| #6 Wrap back towards the head, and apply head cement or your choice to lock it in. |
