The video turned out good Buddy. The body is made with a dubbing loop. To dub the body, make a 5-inch long loop with the thread and insert a mixture of grey and white craft fur and some silver Lite Brite shredded flash, twist the loop tight, and palmer it from the base of the tail to the eye of the hook. Pick out fibers with Velcro.
Unfortunately he was sharing just the technique that day so I don't have a vid ot the tie. Like you I want to learn it since it looks like a great mullett imitation and pushes a lot of water when retrieved.
Nothing worse than a fouled fly.
