1. Cut a ‘bar’ of foam from a block using knife or scissors. Cut the bar in half to obtain two equal sized cubes. Using scissors again, shape the cubes of foam into two spheres. Don’t worry about a few rough edges just concentrate on getting the two pieces of foam more or less equal in size.

2. Cut a good size patch of nylon mesh from a pair of women’s stockings. Place the two booby eyes in the centre of the mesh ready to tie onto the hook.

3. Start the thread at the hook eye and run it toward the bend for three hook eye widths and then back toward the eye. Stop at the centre of the preceeding wraps.

4. Now gather the booby eyes in the mesh. This is where you’ll appreciate having cut a large patch of mesh – it makes the whole process a lot less fiddly.

5. Offer the nylon mesh and booby eyes bundle up to the hook, and secure in place with three tight thread wraps immediately behind the foam eyes. The containing mesh should be only moderately tight around the foam and the eyes should be positioned on the top of the hook shank.

6. Once secured, wrap the tying thread forward between the eyes and pull down streadily to devide them. Make figure-of-eight wraps to complete the division of the eyes and to secure them in position.

6. The eyes should be anchored immediately behind and either side of the hook’s eye. Take the thread back toward the bend of the hook in tight close turns. Cut away the excess nylon mesh using heavy duty tying scissors before wrapping over the waste end.

8. After completing the eyes continue tying to produce something like this olive Booby Nymph with marabou tail and dubbed fur body.
