STEP 8
Pick up the Pearl color E-Z Shape Sparkle Body, and give the bottle a few shakes. It doesn't hurt to squeeze a little out onto a napkin to make sure the 'Sparkle Body is flowing smoothly.



STEP 9
Squeeze the bottle gently to apply the E-Z Shape Sparkle Body. Begin to fill in the spaces around the lead eyes.



STEP 10
Coat the entire area around the lead eyes, allowing the E-Z Shape Sparkle Body to overlap onto the bucktail slightly.



STEP 11
Now pick up the Fluorescent Chartreuse color of E-Z Shape Sparkle Body.



STEP 12
Add a "stripe" of Fl Chartreuse 'Sparkle Body on top of the fly. This matches the dorsal color of the chartreuse bucktail wing.



STEP 13
The completed Sparkling Leadeye Minnow.



STEP 14
The finished fly (top view).


NOTES ON USING E-Z SHAPE SPARKLE BODY:

Squeeze the bottle slowly to apply the E-Z Shape Sparkle Body. Give the bottle a few shakes now and then during application. Since the Sparkle Body will shrink a little as it cures, coat your fly a little thicker than you think you need to. A bodkin can help to distribute the material once it is on the hook, but use the bodkin sparingly. Use just the tip of the tool to help move a bit of 'Sparkle Body from a high spot to a low spot, if necessary. Keep the bottle capped when not in use! This product will not harden in the bottle, but if you leave it uncapped too long, the tip may clog. If it does, simply grasp the tip with your fingers, or a pair of pliers, and pull it from the bottle. Push out any clog that has formed from the inside, using a bodkin. Replace the tip, and you're back in business. Clean up E-Z Shape Sparkle Body with water while it is still wet. Once it's dry, it's permanent. Be careful! This is a non-toxic product, but once it has cured, E-Z Shape Sparkle Body may be stuck for good to your vise, bench, or your spouse's new dining room table!

Tight Lines, and good fishing.
