Default Baeting a hook

For me, the thread body makes tying the really small sizes far easier, and
I think it allows for some semblance of segmentation in the fly as well.
When I try to dub a body smaller than 18 or so, it becomes a blob.



Sparseness is, generally, very important in ties for 'selective' fish, and
It is always so elegant. Yet, it seems to go against my natural grain and
I have to fight myself constantly when tying to avoid "one more wrap of
hackle" or a "few more fibers in the tail"

Thanks for the link.
