Yes good point on the thread. I often use GSP but sometimes 100 on smaller flies. Im sure I am not near the breaking strength of the 210. It is a bit odd in that the flies seem pretty tight when first tied, but more prone to clumps twisting a bit after the fly has been soaked. Not a big deal but thought I would get opinions. Probably overthinking it. Thanks for the replies.

A lot of great info on this site. I have a question for some of the advanced deer hair/bass bug folks. I have gotten reasonably proficient at tying decent looking bugs but have found at times particularly after a fly has gotten wet that the individual clumps are prone to turn on the hook shank. While the flies can be turned back into shape, and fish fine, Im wondering if there is a trick to get the hair tighter on the shank. I feel like I am tying close to the thread breaking strength. Do others use a drop of super glue at the base of each clump? Any ther tricks? Thanks for any advice.
