Big Epp Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Nice! Looks great. How do you make the body with all the bristles sticking straight out like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyman_aj Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Big Epp I can answer your question. That material is deer hair, which is hollow. When you cinch the thread down on it the hair flares out. You start tying at the rear of the hook. After you tie in each bundle of hair you pull all of the fibers straight back or pack the hair then wrap the thread in front of it. Continue this process all the way up the hook shank placing each bundle of hair directly in front of the last. Finally you trim the hair to shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
