You are using the thread to create a colored neck instead of a body. When you are doing this what is the average number of wraps up and down you guys are making or are you just wrapping enough that you can no longer see the hair through the thread?
    You want to make a very neat jig for customers and Crappies with glasses on. I will use a small bodkin on knitting needle to add one or two drops of "Hard as nails" during the thread wraps, and on the final completed jig. The number of wraps may be different if you are covering a marabou spine(s) or covering kip tail. Cover all the hair or marabou and/or spine until the neck looks neat. Just do it until you are satisfied.
