Deb,
That is just another way of using the straws,
Still a couple more ways are , cutting a short piece, slipping it on the
bobbin when tying bass bugs with feather tails or deer hair tail. Tie in
the tail be it feather or hair. Slip the short length of straw from the
bobbin stem over the tail then spin or stack the deer hair. The straw on
the tail will keep you from cutting the tail off when trimming the body.
Still another is a short length slipped on the bobbin stem when tying
flies with hackle that is tied off at the eye, Finish the fly all but
the whip finish, slip the short section of the straw up over the hackles
to hold them back while whip finishing. That will keep the hackle fibers
from being trapped in the whip finish. I am sure there are other ways of
using a section of plastic straws.

We use the big drinking straws also for deer hair bass bugs. You can spin
the hair on up to the collar and slide the straw over it to hold it back out
of the way while you spin the head of the bug. Once the head is trimmed and
shaped carefully cut off the straw and shape the collar of the bug. Very
useful things those straws!!! Wendy's here has the big fat straws and those
work best on deerhair.

I see no one had replied. Here goes.
The straw is filled with Glo Bug Yarn using a long wire hook. The yarn
is brought out of the end of the straw enough to make an egg . The
exposed yarn is tied to the hook shank. A bit more yarn is pulled from
the straw after it is tied on the hook shank and cut off just above the
straw end leaving enough yarn exposed for the next Glo Bug. The yarn
will flare out into a Glow Bug Egg.
That is a quick and dirty way to make Glow Bug Eggs. You can buy a tool
like this for making the Glow bugs, it is a wire hook and three
different size plastic tubes.
