Rene,
As I told Paul, I will give this another shot when I can get to it. The last
time I tried spinning on a wrapped hook was about 25 years ago. The past 15
years since I moved to Arkansas, I have only spun a few bass bugs as I fish
mostly for trout. I do fish Crooked Creek a lot but it is more for Bluegills
than for bass.
Hope to get you back again and fish the White with me. Maybe the next time, it
will not be as windy and water coming over the bow. LOL That is another story.
Tony

Tony, Paul,
thanks for your answers.
I've got somehow a similar experience with this. When I started to try
spinning, I thought best will be the bare hook. And yes, the hair spins
well. On the other hand I noticed that the fly is instable - to be
precise I had the impression, that the thread cuts the hair if I use too
much tension. Later I moved to a thread base, and I had to be more
precise (especially thread tension control) to get it spin, but i found
out that the hair was not so often cut in pieces. This is for sure a
question of the quality of hair - but when using the same patch, with
the thread base I loose less hair (On the hook <G>)
Guess I will continue with the tread base.
