Hey Salty...
 
I addressed this to ya' because you seem to rule this forum! ;)

I want to take the advise of the folks who suggested I remove the rear treble hook off my popper and replace w/ a single hook.

So... I ran out to the tackle shop at lunch and bought a few single hooks. They didn't have any w/ bucktails so I'd like to try and tie my own on.

"Problem" is... I've never done any tying as I don't fly fish.

Could you get me started? I don't know the first thing about this!

Thanks,
Rob

mtnbrz1, if you want to tie them up your self you will need a BOBBIN, to put your thread on, so you can tie the deer hair on to the hook, BOBBINS should cost you around $3.00 thread $1.25
in what ever colors you like, Deer Hair around $4.25 a tail in what ever colors you want. the thread an deer tail WILL last you a LOOOOONG time.almost for got ,also some HEAD CEMENT or
ZAP-A-GAP, to set the thread after you tie it on the hook. you can use a vise or do it the old fasion way an hold the hook in hand. or use vise-grips to hold it, better yet get some one to do it for you:smash: an show you how.
'GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN':happy:
