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.Quote:

Yep, personal jigs = no glue, given away = a drop of glue.
50/50? Mix it with ? What do you cut it with Skip?Quote:

NO A COUPLE OF HALF HITCHES AND 4 WHIPS THEY HAVEN'T COME APART YET NO COMPLAINTS FROM MY CUSTOMERS!!!
I use MEK to cut it and do that because it dries fast and is good quality, but care must be taken to work in a well ventilate area to mix it. No need to use it for a drop! Mainly just keep it off your skin. I use a big oral seringe to get and put it in my little bottle. I don't really measure it, just have lacquer in bottle and add MEK until it's not as yellow and thin! Actually use the seringe to draw both of them and squirt in little application bottle.Quote:

I use 4 wraps and Skips Glue.
4 wraps and a spot of Sally's and acetone mixed 50/50. Works good so far.
Nice ties, I do about 4-5 wraps and a drop of cement
