Thread: making spear head jigs

It was suggested to me,less hair is better,plus cut at the back of the hook......no real proof either way.....but I tend to listen to the ones that do

Agreed. I tend to leave my hair a touch long and trim later if desired. Do you ty the hair on in one big clump or several small clumps adding a little at a time around the jig? Also my biggest struggle is dealing with the hair itself . I got it in bulk. Like 12oz of 8" long hair. Its hard to pull out just what I need mainly because of the crimped hair grabbing others. Hard to deal with without getting hair everywhere. Oh well I enjoy it so I'll keep playing until I get I mastered. :-)

Those are some good looking jigs. Nice work.

Bump request for the nylon hair site

Years ago, Harvey Looney showed me his 'homemade' setup to make his now famous jigs.
One secret was the nylon 'hair' he used was actually a set number of strands of 2 pound test monofilament line.
His system was ingenious to say the least!

Let me know if you want to hear more Bill...

Sure.......in person though
