So I decide to try to make some stacked deer hair bugs. Divers actually. The end result looked pretty good, the hair seemed packed pretty tight, and the body did not spin on the hook. The result seemed pretty good.

So I decided to see how they behaved in water. They floated well. I let them sit in the water for awhile before taking them out and setting them aside to dry.

The next morning I picked one up and found that the hair body rotated on the hook shank fairly easily. All three did that.

Anyone have any idea why the hair bodies that were tight when completed rotate so easily after being soaked then dried?
