Preston, I tie a lot of mono eyes and it usually takes quite a few wraps and pulling very tight on the thread. I haven't found another way to do it either, but I've never had a problem with doing it this way since the wraps get covered by other material and this section (between the eyes) doesn't have to be quite as small. Don't know if this helps you at all, but hope it does Jim
