Marabou Matuka Cat's Whisker

[albannachxcuileag]

You folks might have seen these in the mags and on the net, it is one of the deadlier patterns used for still water Rainbows on this side of the pond. Fished on either floating or sunk lines it has always been a good taker, especially when the fish are fry bashing at the back end. I stuck a thorax hackle and headlamp eyes on it instead of the usual silver chain bead eyes (rod smashers!). Matuka-ing the wing was a bitch but turned out not too bad when I worked out an easier method of doing it.
