Default Re: bucktail help.......

Sam sent me my order of jig heads last week. They look FANTASTIC. Top notch quality.
I picked up a few of my supplies from efingers ( can I say their name if not please MOD edit it). Bucktail hair, bobbin, thread.
Powder coating them is simple, JUST do not over heat the lead. I use a torch. Some people use heat guns. My powder paint I bought online a year ago, when I started powder coating freshwater jigheads. After you PC the jig you can cure them in an oven or toaster over on 350 for 20 minutes.
I made a vise. Needle nose vise grips, with a 8 inch rod tack welded to it. Then that is all attached to a base. Like mentioned, no need to spend big bucks on a vise. Home made, cheap and simple works just fine. Especially if you're tying a few here and there.

I watched a few videos on youtube and then copied the technique that was most common. It's easy and it will help pass time. Good luck
