sirocco Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Din, what did you use to glue the rabbit strips together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Din Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Din, what did you use to glue the rabbit strips together? I tried to use head cement for both the rabbit and the eyes...didn't work as it was too runny so i used 5 min epoxy. if i had crazy glue i prolly woulda used that for the rabbit strips.

OneMoreLastCast Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Looks good. A couple tips for you if you want. Crazy clue works, but if you are taking the time anyways to tie the Bunny, try using a needle and mono to make a quick stitch to hold the two together. Crazy glue lets go after awhile, but the stitch holds until you snap the hook off. Also, even though the standard is to have the two strips the same length, I would suggest leaving one strip an inch or two longer. This will give it a bit more action that seems to induce more strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Din, Listen to MTB. His streamers may be big enough to be seen from space, but them big suckers catch fish. Just don't let one hit you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size of mono do you suggest? appreciate the tips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
