utyer 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2009 I have been tying a bunch of these, so far I haven't fished any. I am using a magnet to hold them on the base of a travel vise clamp. When they rest on the water, they land with the body and tail more upright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

utyer 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2009 I have usually seen this done more with feathers than hair. Good as far as it goes, but you need a third pair of legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
