I just tie mine in, though I have to do it in stages with some materials. I have a white minnow head 3/8 similar to these that they absolutely love. Just start fooling with it, it's not a hard material to use. THe tighter you pull the wraps, the more it tends to flair to a point.Silli legs work well but the thicker spinnerbait stuff does well for me. Just my 2 cents.
