Re: [VFB] Braided mylar question

[Joyce Westphal]

Doc asked the question..what to do with braided mylar at the eye. I am just
catching up, so if this was answered before, then mea culpa. To do a neat
head. I put the braided mylar on with it first sticking out over the eye and
tie and wrap it down. Then I tie on the underbody that I want to show
through, usually silver or gold mylar. I then push the tube of mylar over
the hook rather like turning a sausage inside out and then it goes nicely
down and makes the tail. At the tail I tie it down again just at the end of
the hook barb so that the fraying is contained to the "tail". Hope this
helps. Joyce
