Main problem I had with the ones I did, was, I bought some double edged
razorblades from Wal Mart, and all they carried was Persona, which is just not
sharp enough to do the job..So, I have to get some better blades. Also, I have
some curved blade scissors, but not the kind with one blade serrated.. I have
to get some of that, and some size A I think it is, rod winding thread, which
is what Whitlock uses.. I have been using polyester/cotton sewing thread, and
it's strong enough, but not exactly right for the job... Like anything else,
having the correct tools is half the job, Chuck

Chuck,
As you said, your 'spinning' the hair. Once you get that down, I'll show you
how to 'stack and pack' so you can get one color on the back, and a light color
on the belly. And you can still get stripes and designs on the back while
maintaining the belly color. Use this for poppers, frogs, minnows, mice, etc.

Well folks: I have been spinning some deer hair bass poppers of late, and
it is tooo much fun.. I ain't near "good" yet, but they will catch fish..I tell
ya, the ppl like Dave Whitlock make it look easy LOL... It's fun, but it's far
from easy.. least for me anyway..It is amazing how you can take a clump of deer
hair, make two loose wraps, then loosen your grip on the deer hair as you cinch
down on the thread and it spins right around the hook shank..Chuck
