When creating eye loop and / or tying in the treble hook . Use a bobbin threader. Push the bobbin threader through the outer layer of the Gudebrod Braid, down the center core and out, leaving sufficient length of braid. Practice to establish correct finish length. Thread on the hook. Loop end of braid through bobbin threader and pull - lassoing the hook until tight on to main length of braid with spare end floating loose; this needs to be closely trimmed. Same method when creating the 'eye' only this time pull through stopping to leaving practical eye loop. Super glue whole length of braid from neck of loop to eye of hook. This stops kinking and keep fly shape with sufficient flexibility.
