    I'm back in town. I don't know what I'm tying yet but it will either be yellow or purple, since those are the colors of the balls that I have on hand.

    I've had a couple of these Puff Balls for a long time and this was the first reason to try and use the 'tentacles'. This stuff is a bear to wrap. Squirmy, slippery, and plain ichy. Do any of you have a tip about how best to keep it in place?

    Thanks.

    Might try super glue. When tying a rubber band grub, I put a drop on the thread base before tying in the rubber band.
    Then I put a drop on top of the tied in thread before wrapping the rubber band. Also wait a couple of minutes before wrapping the
    rubber band.
    Helps tying a "Brassie," too.

    June has only (2) weeks remaining. I have (3) tiers without a pattern and received only (2) sets of flies. The original swap deadline is the 25TH. It doesn't look likely this month, either.
