Hook: TMC 3769 #12-18
Bead: Gold Tungsten
Weighted underbody: Lead wire
Thread: Olive UTC 70 or 140 (depending on hook size)
Tail: Coq de leon medium pardo
Body: Olive UTC thread
Ribbing: White Uni thread 6/0
Thorax: Arizona synthetic peacock dubbing
Wingcase: Black flashback tinsel
Finish thread: (hotspot behind bead) Red UTC 70 thread (I finish the thorax and wingcase with red thread, then whip finish with the red thread to create the micro hotspot just behind the bead).
Note: The body and ribbing (not the thorax) of the Iron Lotus are lacquered using Gudebrod rod finish to create a durable, dense body. Add the bead, weight, tail, olive thread body and white ribbing then lacquer the abdomen. Once dry, finish the wingcase and thorax.
