Thanks to this video I started doing this and what a difference! It also helps keep the foam centered. Just about the best foam tip I've received.

Your little how to videos are great. No drama, no strutting, no begging for likes…just professional quality content!
Thank you

You are so right. The opposing tensions created by counterwraps are also useful for securing Clouser eyes, positioning wing posts, etc.

This is a great tip. Would also love a video on stopping lead eyes from spinning. Thanks!

[jtahoe]

Now that's a really good tip. Thanks!

Great tip Tim, thanks for sharing and for once again making me think "why the hell didn't I think of that..."

Genius! As always…but what about covering the whole fly in Rosenbauer tape? Seems like it would work great, and what self respecting trout wouldn’t eat a big wad of blue tape.

Excellent tip. I just wish I’d seen this video before wrestling with 10 Stubby Chubbies, trying to keep the foam from spinning.

Looks like a great idea that's well worth trying. Thanks for the info and I'm wondering if the same technique would work for bucktail ?!?

[CONEHEADDK]

Nice thinking. Much better than tightening so hard, you cut the foam.

Where do you come up with these ideas? Geniues level!
Thanks!
