I am using a kamasan b830 size 8 I have a few turns of .010 led wire in the middle, using Uni thread 8/0 to lock in down. My hooks are straight!

Thank you glad I joined very useful information.

No mate it is a countersunk tungsten bead

I just wanted to know why some of my flies swim hook point down and some hook point up. As I am new to fly tying I wasn't sure where I was going wrong. I have the same problem with my buggers and nymphs that have no weight added to the fly.

Yes hook point up is what I mean. Personally I would prefer them to swim with hook point down but At the end of the day no I don't think it does matter! I just want to get to the bottom of why as I am new to fly tying thanks.

I have been tying wooly buggers etc lately some are great but others swim belly up. What are people's opinions with why some of my flies swim belly up.
