So how do you secure ur bucktail on your jigs? And how or what do you do w/ jigs that have no tail or hardly any tail now because of that?

I use flat waxed nylon thread. The most important wraps are the first ones you put on the hook. Put a nice tying base of thread on the hook and put some "Hard as nails" on it. Now add your tail material. A few lose warps first to get it in the place you want then cinch it down with tighter wraps. Add more "Hard as nails after the whip finish.
