Default Re: Bucktails and trailer hooks.

Kevin, what do you mean nyc for a dollar a bottle? What is nyc?

Foul hook, I use a hand me down vise. The hooks have to be forced into the vise. PITA. Will be buying a new one soon. Also what head cement do you use?

And just to let you Guys know. The trailer hooks are for my Fluke balls. And for replacement hooks for my plugs and maybe as teasers for bass. I will probably be tying these with epoxy from now on. They get beat up with the fluke balls.

Here are my balls! LOL Crappy old cell phone pic. They are all on my boat.

Keith,I use "Hard as Hull" head cement only because a got an order through Cabela"s and just added it to the order, seems to work good. Also the fluke balls your making look good wish you sold some. For a trailer hook I've been crimping them on may be to expensive for some but I use left over tuna gear!

Thumbs up Re: Bucktails and trailer hooks.

For finishing your teasers LOON Hard Head clear it looks like epoxy when you put 2 coats.

Mako, NYC is a cheap nail polish. every srore has that brand. If you "paint as you go" the hair should hold up well. Good job on the fluke balls. If you use 5 minute epoxy on those red wraps it looks pretty cool. 2 ton epoxy might be a good choice for epoxy on jig heads and balls.
Foul hook's comment about the vise from harbor freight, if its what I think it is , the price is only about $20, rotates slightly and you can put heavy bucktails in it.
