When you tie a hackle in by the "base" end and proceed to wind it on you end up with the problem of tying it off with several fibers being caught under the thread wraps carrying them forward over the hook eye. Now you have to add more wraps to force these stray fibers back away from the eye. Is there a way to avoid this problem?
I've been tying for years and living with this problem, but now I'd like to eliminate this extra step. Thanks.
