How to make a bucktail lure

Here are the tools. They sell them from a $20 kit to hundreds of dollars each, but they all basically do the same thing.

Here is what I picked out for this lure. You can apply these skills for making lures for anything from tiny panfish to large saltwater species.

These next 3 pictures will show you many colors of the basic 3 items for making a jig. Here are the jigheads.

The chinelle.

And the bucktails.

Start by placing the jig in the vice. And clamping it down so it is secure.

This is how the thread is covered by itself to hold it down. You may want to go back and forth a few times for more security.

Closer look at the whip finish knot. Basically it wraps itself over itself so it won't come untied. Here it looks like a upside down 4. The hole goes over the jighead.

Do this 7-12 times.
