Tying Buck Tails

Materials

1 Buck Tail (Deer or synthetic)

2 Vice (Rotary Type)

3 Tying Thread

4 Bobbin

5 Nail Polish, Crazy Glue

6 Mono Loop (15# test see pic)

Getting started first you need to select the tail and
color, I used white. Place the jig hook into the vice
wrap the base with at least 15 turns of thread.Coat this
with either nail polish or crazy glue, let it dry. While
waiting get the hair ready use small amounts, building
the tail up till you have covered the hook.

Finishing wrap over the loop you made, this is easier
then using a whip finisher. After pulling the thread
thru, clip the end close. Now you can apply the nail
polish I recommend 2 coats minimum the jig in the pic has 3 coats.

The thread I am using now is Coats & Clark Embroidery
Thread, 1100 Yds. 40 Wt.100% Polyester. I use a drill
to wind the thread onto small spools to fit the bobbin..

Hope this helps, see Sam for them unfinished jig heads, tie your own and catch some fish.

Have fun Richie
