I hate not havin 2 treble hooks on a plug but some smaller ones get only one belly hook.so I used to rap the rear treble an no matter how far back on the hook or how short or sparse i tied em they would foul.in other words the bucktail would rap around the hook an look funny.anyone got a solution.By the way nice work.

I have found in my fly tying that if I stack the bucktail from short to long that helps. I start with the shortest layer on the belly of the hook, than a longer layer on the sides and the longest layer on the top. They tend to support each other and help prevent fouling. Other than that, just check the hook often :-)

Nice work on the bucktails and plugsespecially that blue and white spook I like the siwash with a single or no hook when using double belly hooks especilly,when the blues are around. Keeps me away from the hospital Don't ask me how i know
