Devin Olsen's Blowtorch: Squirrel Style

There seems to be a current trend with flies like this in the fly fishing community, and I'll be honest, I'm on board!  However, with that being said, if I were going to attempt this fly or others like it, I would tie it on a 1/80 ounce jig head like I do all of my other jigs.  I don't see a need for fancy, barbless hooks and expensive beads, but if you're a stickler and a rule follower, then you be you and go for it.  It probably looks better your way to be honest.
