Here's how to end your Hackle Guard problems. Get and old pair of waders and cut out the foot section or just find a piece of neopreme. Such as old wet suit etc. Cut a circle out about 1/2 inch and punch a hole in it with a pair of scissors. Slide it on your bobbin and then after you tie your hackle and tirm it off hold your thread tight and slide your new hackle guard up and over your hackle. whip finish. It works great!
