Hankill- Nice, but make sure you squeeze close the slightly open hook eye, your line WILL slip out!

Agree you may want some smaller thread for that size! I have some heads in 1/80 and 1/64. The 1/80 mostly are #8 hooks and a few #6, but the 1/64 I have #4 and #6 Sickle hooks in them, lol!

I like fishing 1/64 and 1/80 but still get them with a #8 hook at least if I am fishing crappie. Gills love those small one. I really like just a lightcalf hair in white and pink or white and olive.
I heat ya on the hook size.
I lean toward bigger hooks for the smaller size... Since I don't make my own, I'm sorta locked on what can find.
When I prefer Crappie and I get anything else, it's still fun to reel them in. It's a bonus if I get a gill. Better bonus if it's a Redear!Sent from my Pixel 3 using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app
Uni-thread 8/0 works for me very well.

some pine squirrel zonker strips should work great on tiny heads!! Arctic fox tail would be great too!!
Did you mean for this to be in a different thread talking about the different thread size? I find it interesting for sure and you must have a very good touch/feel for your tying. I have trouble with thread that thin and do wish I had a better feel for that.
I am going to try tying with more of my threads that I avoid like the plague, lol!
You have inspired me a little!
