As you probably know, there are many videos out there demonstrating tie off methods. The Orvis guy even whip finishes his tie off at the bottom of the post. I have not mastered that one yet. Others tie off at the eye by holding the wrapped hackle back in the process (not pretty but it works). I think I have tried them all, but still use a dab of super glue at the base. I hope others will chime in here and give their preferred methods. BTW I have not had any unravel.
