You'll need a bobbin, a good small pair of scissors, maybe a stacker (I don't use one), some hard as hull or other good superglue, some bucktails, quality hooks (I like gamikatzu live bait 5/0's), and thread.

Pretty easy to wrap, with thread in bobbin, wrap a few times around hook and then a half hitch, cut a little bucktail to use . Pinch it at the good end and slide your fingers down the bucktail and remove the short unwanted bucktail, align on the hook wrap a few times and again with the halfhitch. Here's where you can change bucktail color or material (peacock, saddlehackle, etc..). When you finish with what your using continue with a snug full wrap and several halfhitches. Finish with glue on the thread wraps.

Thanks ITS, might seem like a stoopid question, but which end is the good end on the bucktail? Sorry, just I have zero knowledge on this subject.

I work near Cabelas up in E. Hartford, CT and will probably pick up supplies there. I have no ideas on what's good and what isn't. Perhaps a heads up on what bobbin might be a good value or what to steer clear of? I would also be looking at a few feathers, any advice on what I should look for? bucktail?
