I have been tying bucktail jigs for along time but for some reason on the heads like the poison tail jig I can not keep the hair from flairing out. What am I doing wrong. Any help will be appreciated
azslabber said:There is a place on the hair of a bucktail where the hair bends really easy.If you are tying closer to the skin side it is muck thicker and with your first wrap it will flair the hair out.These are 3/4 oz. with a really short collar and when you find the right spot to cut the hair off of the tail,it is really nice.I cut all of my hair in smaller pinches righ close to the skin and then bend it with my finger to see where the good spot is.If your last wrap of thread is right on top of the collar edge it will flatten it up also.I just learned this in the last couple of weeks,lol.The flounder love them.
