Jimmy: I just posted the sizes and numbers to Nick, I THINK it is tying thread LOL.. I ordered it from that section...Probably just the novice tier holding the bobbin I now think, Chuck   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D.

It has a tendency to gather / pucker and not tighten too well. This has happened to me when I used Gudebrod D  245 and D  206 nylon by mistake. :-P JIMMY  D Chuck Alexander wrote: Pete: It does not have that G in the rim, but I think you hit the nail on the head.. One of my main problems I've had since day one tying, is putting toooooo many wraps on whip finishes, cause I had a few come loose at first when they caught one or two fish, so, i thought "more is better" on the number of wraps in my whip finishes... So, like you say, instead of just tying off the knot, i was actually building a "head" and then, trying to tie that off, and it would come lose...I will try the lighter trick too.. Thanks a million, Chuck
