Default Re: Bucktails and trailer hooks.

Curious as to how you gents are holding the bigger jigs when wrapping threads. I've got a small vise a bought at harbor freight. It doesn't rotate like the fly vises so I put the jig in the vise and rotate the thread around the hook,kinda bass-ackwards. Any thoughts or input would help! As far as the nail polish head cement debate I've been using nail polish as a base coat adding a little when I've built up my bucktail then finishing with the head cement for a hard finish. May be overkill but I'm not losing hair over this!!( I'll wait for LAB's comment)
