Nice looking jig's Doc! they'll get the job done!

Tell you how I do those buckies Doc.When I start My wrap and all tha way through I don't let the thread get to near the head then I go around the head with My exacto knife and trim It even then I wet tie this area as I build it up this way I can very the shape of the jig thin for minnow's wide like your's for perch patteren's. it makes oit easier and stronger.

There is nothing better to cut deer hair than a double side razor blade. Not very safe, but that is what most fly tiers use to trim when they are spinning deer hair flies.

I keep a pack in my tying desk and you have to be very careful not to cut the thread which I have done before, LOL!

Now my son with all his medical troubles had some disposable scalpels that I plan on using to see how they do. He claims that if you cut your self with them you will not even feel it and so this is not a safe bet either.
