Notes on tying:

1. Wrap entire shank with lead wire.  Coat with flexament.
2. Tie in tail (black, brown, and purple are good) slightly longer than the shank length.
3. Tie in rabbit fur strip at hook bend and wrap forward brushing back the fur to form a full body.
4. Tie off and cut the fur strip off at the eye of the hook.
5. Whip finish head.

 This is a variation of pattern that come from several sources.  It is very effecive for bass when cast out, and stripped back.
