I rely on Jann's Netcraft or the local tackle shop and get a head cement. A good clear "Hard as Nails" from Walmart will work too. I also go an extra step and add a drop of super glue druing the tying process. It seems to make your jigs hold up a lot longer and really secures hair and feather to the metal.
The stuff in easter baskets is a lot thicker and harder to use than a good Krystal flash.
