    I love the look of those heads, are they regular aspirin heads with 3Deyes glued on?

    How does craft fur look in the water? Is it stiff like bucktail or does it move like marabou?

    Also, are there applications for Float n Flies techniques in Crappie or Bluegill fishing?

    The craft hair is alive in the water, I think better than buck tail for the application. The head is a round ball head, modified, then I glue on a three d eye, then top coat it with lacquer .

    It has a nice fluid motion in the water. I used to use Punisher craft hair but it's so thick now I gave up on it. I have darice and use it but I really like the old Targus craft fur!! Hard to find now, but the patchs were nice sized. I have lot's of the Hairline extra select craft fur. Most don't know you can cut it like zonkers and use it that way - and a cross-cut style zonker of craft fur ties very nice.

    I've seen some of the cutters that guys have made but I REALLY like my fingers!!!LOL

    Nice ties! Really love me some craft hair, I like to describe it as the jig is breathing in the water
