Get a Bobbin....I have some sausage fingers myself but that makes it pretty easy. After I tie'em I put couple of coats of Hard as Nails on it. I'll put a drop of epoxy on them when I'm sealing a plug to make it more durable.

3 lose wraps with the nylon over the bucktail, position the bucktail how you want it, tighten it up, wrap it a zap it

First thing is it's about like turning plugs you will get better.
Step by step
1 Put hook in vise
2 hold thread along hook and wrap over to hold it
3 Put some head cement on thread
4 cut some bucktail, not from base of tail
5 Hold long ends of bucktail and pull out short hairs
6 grab butts ofbucktail and hold on hook
7 wrap loose 2x with thread
8 position and tighten thread
9 more glue, if you do this step they stay together better
10 wrap tight and tie off
11 more glue for looks and I never turn them
If you don't like it cut it off and try again
