How do you tie on the tail hook?
#5
I did a tutorial on another forum for the way I do it. It is old Steelhead style where I thread the STINGER (back hook) with a heavy mono. I then attach it to a needle, and thread it through Rabbit strips.
I then attach the mono to the front hook and add a dab of Zap-A-Gap (WATERPROOF superglue, as not all super glue is), but the fact it is threaded THROUGH the rabbit also ensures that it won't come off.
In this TUTORIAL, I had to use foam instead of Rabbit strips because you could see what I did.

This is just one way and the threading is a little time consuming, which may or may not be worth it to all. I like it cause it keeps the two rabbit strips together and soft unlike gluing them.
