MP's Pink Attempt

I tried something new on in the creation of this pattern. I recently came across a method for creating "tip dyed" marabou without actually using a dye, but instead simply "painting" the feather with a black permenant marker. I do have to say that this really did NOT work well; more black ended up on my hands than anyplace else. In the long run, pre-tip-dyed marabou would be a much better feather to use. One other thing that I want to note on this pattern is the use of the straight shank salmon hook; on a Marabou / Spider Spey such as this pattern the hook is not often visible anyways; thus the visual appeal of the curved shank is lost on a pattern like this. So skip the more expensive curved shanks and just go straight.
