Got the components built up to the head/wing and all is tight however after securing the head/wing with a reasonable amount of torque it is wanting to spin.... Rotate whole around the hook

Any tips or tricks out there for this

or am I doing something wrong

assuming you've already combed the underfur out up to this point...

using the soft-loop method put a loop around the hair only - then around the shank and draw the loops tight pulling thread upward between thumb and forefinger.

Thanks Guys

Any secondary securring,head cement drop of Crazy glue???? or not required

I use a slightly different approach- two soft loops around hair and shank. Tighten upwards while hair is gripped between thumb and finger, then two tight loops tight against front of lifted hair, then two more tight loops over the soft loops through the hair.

I've never glued the head - but you can.

Thanks team HFF

Worked like a charm a combo of all suggested, Box will fill up quick now, and special secrets for this fly, colour combos/ sizes any hooks seem better than others
