Tail hooks: when to dress, when to leave bare

[stripermaineiac]

If you dress a hook right it will outfish one undressed everytime. Try this recipe and see. Take a hook tie white bucktail with enough hair so it goes all the way around the hook. take chartruse krystal flash. cut off 4 full length peices and double over the thread and tie on the hook with 4 to 5 wraps. Repeat with 4 strands of holographic flashabou-silver base. Then tie a back with chartruse bucktail.Oh by the way use chartruse thread.Use duro super glue as it will hold best in the salt instead of head cement.When you tie them try to keep them proportional to the lure. If your entering a casting tournement worry about how far you can cast with a plug. You wanna catch fish dress the plug to do so.The canal and a few other places may need a long cast but most times your casting over the big fish right at your feet. Try it and see. Even some darters work better with a tail.But experiment or ourself. Ron
