Finally got some tails on somewhat straight using a heated bodkin to melt a groove in it. Nothing fancy.

Those tails are seated impressively straight, I'm gonna have to try the hot needle thing on some of mine.  It is mooshy SOB to impale and thread on a hook, always wants to track wrong under pressure.

Thanx for tip!

TSMcD, that CDC caddis emerger checks all the boxes!   Definitely to be added to my arsenal.

Hey Kimo is that a split shot in the center of your bodacious scud?

No, though I do tie some of them weighted.

I will take lead wire (.035) and smash it in a pair of pliers and use it to shape the top curve vs just wrapping.

And thanks for the compliment!
