Tip

Tip: Tie floss with a loose wrap first, then wrap back over it for an even body

How to do it: Tie floss with a loose initial wrap, then wrap back over it for an even body

Mistake it fixes: Wrapping floss tightly from the start, creating unevenness

Why it works: A loose first wrap positions floss, then wrapping back evens it into a smooth body.

When it matters most: Fly tying, floss
