This could also just be a variation on a Cruncher as I've seen Nemo recipes with peacock bodies. Still trying to figure how to wrap a proper holo tinsel head.
hook - Mustad 94840 #14
thread - UTC 70 red
tail/abdomen - pheasant tail
rib - holographic Flashabou red
counter-rib - x-small wire silver
thorax - peacock herl
hackle - hen brown
Regards,
Scott

I like the look of the red tinsel rib. Nicely done.

Hanging with some anemonies
Apparently, I had an issue with the Super Glue I was using; caused the tinsel to frost up. Got a bottle of Loctite and no problems. This one's tied on a Dai Riki 305 #18; also used Sulky Holoshimmer for rib and head (very nice stuff).
Regards,
Scott

Both are very nice patterns. A little old school meshed with contemporary flash. I like the style. I have played with that Sulky as well. It is nice.
