Tail Hooks

[UserRemoved1]

Bob after you put the bucktail on the hook and cut it back-before you start wrapping the hair forward put a drop of Hard as Hull on there and let it impregnate the inside of the hair...then wrap forward and put another coating on the finished head...rotate it if you can. This locks everything together.
I'll send you a bottle to play with this week.

I have been tying for well over 40 years and learned about super glue about 20 years ago. After tying on the feathers/hair/flash etc., but before any head cement, put on a drop or 2 of super glue (saturate the head) and let it dry. After that you can apply any type of epoxy or high build head cemant. The super glue will hold every thing together and the head cement will make it look pretty. Generally the feathers/hair breaks off rather than pulls out when you use superglue.
