Mike,

Unless I'm missing something, those all have bead-chain eyes.


Chuck Vance (or are we missing something "in translation"? :-)


If you read the article, you will discover that David Train used cats
whiskers tied to the hook in order to obviate the problem you are currently
addressing, namely to stop the wing wrapping around the hook.

If you want to avoid these problems, tie the fly like a clouser, and use
arctic fox instead of marabou.
