Seems that even when I use Micro chenille it wants to fill in the hook's gap and thus, I get bites, but lose a lot of fish...And, if I start up farther from the hooks bend, I only get about one good wrap, or then it covers the hook's eyes???? I tried going to a 3/0 thread body, and/or unraveling a regular knitting yarn, and using a strand of it,and using floss as well, but I lose the "sparkle" of the "crystal chenille" that attracts the fish.. Thanks for any ideas..Thanks, Chuck   Morning Chuck...my way with the smaller hooks is simple...smaller amount of material and thread!  piece of cake!   Tom in VT   I fish and hunt because the voices in my head tell me to.....
