i tie all my tails using marabou or my own special hair... but i tie everything to a coil... instead of tying to the hook and having a llunge rip it to peices...
slide the coil on the shaft... and its ready to go... then put on some beeds, or bodies... and a big clevis and big blade... moores lures has coils.. and so does stanima... moores has a better selection of the coils...
