I like to put a drop of CA glue on the figure 8 wraps after the first few to help hold the dumbell eyes to the hook shank. Also, making a "saddle" from 2 thread bumps to place the eyes between is a good way to help manage the placement of those eyes and minimize sliding.

Don't underneath the hook shank when doing those wraps. They are to "lock-in" your figure 8 wraps, and should be done extremely tight. If you do them correctly, you won't need near as many figure 8 wraps.....thereby saving time. And stagger those wraps, figure 8's, underneaths, figure 8's, underneaths, etc., etc....... mark From: "Chuck Alexander" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [VFB] Clouser Minnow Question Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 14:05:38 -0600 Rick, Arne: Thanks for the tips..I saw Bob Clouser tying some, and frankly, it looks like a fairly easy fly to tie, Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Zieger To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 6:50 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Clouser Minnow Question They are good flies.
