First attempt, and question

Attachment 190287

Question is do y'all use head cement and a whip finisher like fly tiers do?

Yes. 4 wraps and a tiny drop of head cement.
Looks good.

Thanks for the answer. Hopefully these catch me some crappie on Saturday.

If you put them in front of some, no doubt they will bite them!

I just whip finish . No cement . Gillchaser

I do this on my personal jigs. Always cemented when I was selling though.

I use generally 5 wraps and I make my own glue which is clear high gloss lacquer mixed about 50/50 because it's thin and soaks in fast, can't feel where you put it and works well. I really don't think my ties would come apart anyway, but I feel better with the drop.

Yep, personal jigs = no glue, given away = a drop of glue.

50/50? Mix it with ? What do you cut it with Skip?

Good looking ties
