Hook: Mustad 9672

Thread: Black

Tail: Rubber curly tail

Body: Sparkle chenille (black or purple)

Head: Round or cone brass bead

The key to this pattern obviously is the curly tail.  I tie many different patterns with this rubbery addition; egg-sucking leeches, barbell bunnies, even flesh flies (small white tails) and egg patterns (really small white tails).
