Tips On Tying Bucktail Siwash Hooks?

[Slipknot]

Take all the tieing stuff and place it neatly in order on the table, then take one of your size 15's and proceed to beat the hell out of the stuff


I have size 14 and I don't think that my huge hands and fingers have anything to do with having trouble tieing tailhooks. I just think I don't have the patience for them to come out perfect like you expect also. Did you try putting the hair on in 2 or 3 clumps not just one big clump all at once?
good luck

Capesams gave me a great tip.Use dental floss,ya can handle it easier with big mits and don't worry about breaking it when pulling down tight.

Bruce is right....my hands are not the problem....the fact that I am a perfectionist is what the problem is!!! Bruce....yes, I did one clump! I think I might try beating all the goods with my shoe like Slip suggested!

its not the hair that you should be concerned with. Its getting measurements off of your hook, hook shank, and hook eye and hook width.....almost done
