What I have been doing is when starting put a few wraps back from the eye, small amount of Hard as Hull so it sticks to hook, then before I finish the head also apply some HaH. Finish the head, whip finish and coat with HaH.
I had problems loosing hairs on the first few lots I tied, this solved the problem for me.
Great start.
JB and Surfstix tie some great looking teasers. Most of my March/April Bass were on Surfstix teasers this year and I have a few of JB's teasers that I can't wait to fish next year. Their advice should be helpful.
