Tying Instructions: UV Scud




	1. Attach the hook to the vise and secure the thread to the top of the shank behind the eye.
	2. Clip off a section of Antron yarn and use only half of the strands for the antennae and tail. Secure the strands to the top of the hook shank behind the eye.
	3. Secure the antron along the top of the shank from behind the eye to the midpoint of the bend of the hook.
	4. Attach the monofilament to the bottom of the hook shank and secure up to the tail. Wrap the thread back up to behind the eye.
	5. Cut a point to the 1/8" Clear Scudback material. Attach the point of the scudback to the top of the hook shank behind the eye and secure with thread wraps to the tail.
	6. Dub the thread with the UV Ice Dubbing, locking in the first fibers at the tail with a couple of thread turns.
	7. The dubbing should not be a tight noodle but rather loose. Wrap the dubbing around the shank working up to the eye. Try to build a slight taper and a full body.
	8. Wrap up to the eye of the hook.
	9. Bring the scudback over the top of the body and secure with two tight thread wraps behind the eye.
	10. Bring the Scudback tag end back towards the rear and secure with a couple additional thread wraps behind the eye. This will lock in the material.
	11. Clip off the scudback tag end and wrap the monofilament in spirol wraps forward to the eye. Secure with a couple of thread wraps on either side of the monofilament and trim off the tag end. Build a small thread head.
	12. Apply a whip finish.
	13. Trim off the thread.
	14. Trim both the tail and antennae antron to size, they should not be longer than the hook gape.
	15. Tease out the dubbing fibers from beneath the body with a dubbing brush.
	16. Trim the teased dubbing so that it does not exceed the hook point and trim from the hook point to the eye.
	17. The finished UV Scud.
