  1. Oops, sorry about the above, got ahead of myself. I'm not familiar with the Daiichi model you've mentioned, but any curved caddis/grub/scud style hook will deliver similar results. The Klink style hooks are slightly longer(2x, 3x perhaps)but the abdomen will be submerged with the post and hackle in/above the surface film.
  2. I too use the 30 minute epoxy, and have had the same problems. The ratio has to be just right. Here's how I do it: I mix the epoxy on post-it notes. I use a small diameter cylinder(usually the insert of my hair stacker)and scribe two small circles side by side by tracing the circumference of the stacker insert on the post-its. Then I slowly measure out equal parts of the mixture till the beads fill the circle outlines, no more, no less. Then I mix it thoroughly. It usually works out well using this technique.
