notes: Balsa is used for the head. This requires some expertise in shaping with a sharp knife. The front of the head should be flat and cut at a 60 degree angle starting at the top and finishing at the bottom. The rest of the head should be rounded and bullet tapered, painted white. A small slit should br cut in the bottom so the head can be put over the hook shank and glued down. Tied in various colors.
