this technique works on any hook.. if you tie them right you don't need much adhesive at all.. there is a technique which is easier to learn if you can watch it.. .but i'll try to explain here..
basically cut your desired lenthg of bucktail.. stack it on the hook as you would when tying.. (by the way... pre wrap a little thread on the hook before you put the hair on) then wrap two or 3x around the whole bundle..
then peal up about 1/3rd or 1/4r of the hair.. infront of the first few wraps then wrap thread under those hairs 2 or three wraps.. repeat this til you get to the last third (1/4)
now you will have something resembling a mohawk type hair cut..
next step..
take your scissors and cut these pieces down as short as you can.. wrap over these back towards your first few wraps...
this will lock all the hairs in place.. then go back over until it looks decent.. then whip finish.. or half hitch knot cut off your thread.
and you can seal it with whatever adhesive you like.. epoxy works good, you can get away with sally hanson hard as nails... or soft tex.. they all will seal and protect your thread wraps..
i know it sounds like its complicated.. but its really easy... and will leave your hooks looking neat ...
helped out my tying incredably..
i'll try to send you some pictures if i can
later
