Tip
Tip: Use a spare thread loop twisted with the material to strengthen it
How to do it: Twist a spare thread loop with fragile material to create a stronger, reinforced body
Mistake it fixes: Tying fragile material alone without a thread loop
Why it works: A thread loop distributes stress and holds fragile fibres together, making the body much more durable.
When it matters most: Fly tying, wet flies
