Dressed trebles

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]Hairing or feathering trebles is not that difficult...unless you try to do it by keeping one hook anchored in the vise and adding "dressing to all three "gaps". I start by clamping one hook, throwing a few loops of thread around the dressing on the top, and then undoing the hook and rotating it to the next hook bend. Then, I take a larger clump of hair or feathers and tie it to the second side. If you push the dressing down so that it straddles the uppermost hook, all three gaps are filled and you can finish the tie.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There is no need to tie material into all three gaps. More difficult than tying a single hook shaft, but it can make a difference on spinners and when added as the rear hook on some hardbaits.[/#0000ff]
