bucktail help.......

[shrimpman steve]

Thinkin of buying jigheads from sam, how hard is it to finish them off? anyone willing to show me how to make them if I order from sam? The spros are just to damn expensive. Lookin to cut costs.

Helpful info would be:

Where do you buy the powder coat paint (if powder coat is the way to go)?

where do you get the dyed bucktail

what kind of vise

and is it worth it

They are not real hard to make, You don't need to invest in an expensive vise. Netcraft should have all the supplies you need. Like anything else, the more you do it the more proficient you will become. You can really do a nice job with painting them by investing in a an air brush.

Steve any time you want to see what it takes to tie them let me know, you know were I live.

Steve, would be happy to help but in PA if you want to trek over. Jann's Netcraft or TackleCraft.com have all the basics you would need to get started. Ebay has some good buys for bucktail hair now and then if you want to purchase a bulk qty. You can get white powder paint cheap at a Harbor Freight store for @ $4.00 for a pint container that will make a lot of jigs. Good luck!

gonna call sam and get some heads, this is the year im gonna give it a shot. I will be in touch with those who offered help! I figure I should get the vise and bobbers first, so let me know which models to get.
