Notes on tying: I use a 9" piece of copper wire and start at the bend. Holding
the wire with both hands, the left, with half the wire above the bend and right,
with the other half below. I wrap the wire forward with the right hand, bringing
the wire under and around again and again to within 1 mm from the eye of the
hook. I cut it off and super glue the winds to the hook shank. Once the wraps
are secure I coat the wire with wax, dub with hares' ear, natural color is my
preference, and wrap forward to within 2 mm of the eye. I secure with two half
hitches and cut the wire. The wire I use is essex 14 AWG type THHN, which is
a multiple stranded electrical wire.
