'whatever'

 

lol, jk, you might beat me up!

 

Its frigging tough to get the bead NOT to slide forward after the addition of all the materials (even when you put a chunk of thread infront of it..) so thats why the wraps are so evident. I got better at making it fit better, but the legs didn't turn out as good as that one...

 

lotsa time till spring, and knowing me, i'll tie 2 dozen, to find them useless

why not just krazy glue a bunch of them before hand or else a thin strip of dubbing?

I meant when i was tying it in. I'm not a fan of the thread being exposed on top of the beadhead, and since the glass bead slides forward when i'm tying it, i can't get my wraps to tuck under nicely

 

 

btw Andy,
