I really like the look of the fish skulls. I've always wondered how exactly they stay on. I know you can put super glue underneath them but is that enough? Do you put a nice ball of thread in front of the head too?
You basically tie the fly, whip finish and cut off the thread, and add a little super glue. Slide the fish skull head over the eye of the hook. Push it as far back over the material as it'll go. Reattach the thread in between the fish skull head and the eye of the hook. Wrap and wrap and wrap until the fish skull head doesn't move forward. Very simple to use and I love it.

ReplyDeleteThanks, that's what I figured. I'll have to try some.
