Moran's Improved Tarantula
This page was updated 12/14/07


Hey Walt,
Here are a couple pictures of some of those taurantulas I tie. They differ from the original Turk's in a couple of ways. First, for the tail instead of amherst pheasant feathers I use either white marabou or calf's tail. Second, I wrap palmered hackle along the length of the body to help keep it float. Basically those are the only two changes I made, so here's a recipe to go by.

Head: spun and clipped deer hair
Tail: White Calf's tail
Body: Dubbing of your choice
Ribbing: Fine copper or gold wire
Hackle: Palmered hackle of choice
Underwing: White Calf's tail
Legs: Rubber crazy legs color is once again tier's choice
