Today I am going to go through the process that I use to make a Sea Witch and, to rig it up for trolling.

The first thing I do with all my sea witch heads is I paint the eyes black. You can use permanent markers or my preferred method of finger nail polish.
Then I take my waxed thread and lay it out on the table. I use a piece about 3-4 feet long. Then I take my darker colored hair and lay it down on top of the waxed thread. Then I place my sea witch head on top of the hair.
Next I take my lighter colored hair and place it on top of the sea witch head.
Then I take my waxed thread and tie a triple over hand knot That is the first half of the same knot that we use to tie our shoe laces with, but I go through 3 times instead of just once.
Then tighten it down good and tight.
Next I flip the entire sea witch over onto its opposite side and tie another triple over head knot. I do that 2 times on each side for a total of 4 triple over hand knots.
After my first set of knots I hold the sea witch in my hand and I move the hair around till its nice and even all the way around.
