How to Tie Single Bucktail Hooks (& More)!!

Hello, everyone! Today, I'm back at the fly-tying desk. This time, I'm showing you how to tie your own single bucktail-dressed hooks for saltwater spoons + plugs. These same basic techniques can be applied for bucktail teasers, flags, and jigs. So, once you learn how to tie bucktail-dressed single hooks, you've pretty much got the rest covered, too. This will save you a bunch of money (which is great), but the best part is the ability to customize exactly what you want in hooks, teasers, flags + jigs. The same ideas can be applied to freshwater, too. So, come along with me, as I tie up some single bucktail hooks! Today's gear...
