Tying bass hair jigs

[ezgo]

I use bucktail and for thread I use danvilles 210 and loons hardhead cement. I have had good luck with the thread and cement, I have not had any come apart. I have used a plain jig head that I powder painted myself and tyed with all of the above and used them for fishing for Hybrid Striped Bass in the Ohio River and ran them through the ringer and I have not had one of them come apart also.

I like to use rabbit on bass jigs. Cant beat the action and its plenty durable. Ive caught alot of big mouths on this one. Thats a 2/0 sickle.

You can also find a bunch on YouTube. When I first started tying them I used a really heavy thread, now I can go with 6/0 fly tying thread or 210 flat waxed nylon. If you try Kevlar make sure you have an old pair of scissors or an old scapel to cut it, and don't wrap it around your fingers for any reason you can cut yourself with it.
