FlySlinger 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2011 I would also like to know more about how to spin deer hair into a cup. :yahoo: Hi Guys sorry it took so long to get back to you......Here is how you make the cup..... 1st you need long hair and you know when you get bye the hook ....you spin a bunch of hair if it is long it will spill over the eye you take some good Glue....I use 527 Beacon and I mix it with the deer Hair......Then I form the cup with the glue....with my fingers trim it and there you go.....
