We had a bunch of hooks snap due to messing with the temper of the hook. We ended up hearing a needle and melting then inside just before putting it on the hook which ended up working better. Tight lines!
I did something like this but with a squirmy worm tail instead. Worked pretty good for lake run browns, Atlantic salmon and steelhead here in the finger lakes area and the tributaries out of Ontario lake.
Assuming to make the hole a little bigger as well to be able to fit more resin in there. I don't like possibly messing with the temper of the hooks so I have a sewing needle I usually heat up and use instead of heating up the hook eye.
I don’t really want it banned even though I think it’s ridiculous. I just know what I’m dealing with when I meet the “mop fly” or squirmy worm guys on the stream so I don’t expect much from them. I do expect that one of these days I’m going to see a “fly” tying tutorial in which the you tube tier is lassoing a chunk of Berkeley gulp to a hook and extolling its virtues. 😂

I often wondered how heating the hook up would effect it's durability. And your idea seems a lot better
I suppose in cold weather with a cold metal vice, you could cool the hook too quickly.
Effectively quenching it.

I know what I am tying on my days off! Tight lines! Thank you for sharing! 😎🎣
Great fly.What thread are you using.Thanks
#flies getting closer to egg pattern season, and ive had alot of luck on galaxy mop flies already, so this would be the double whammy.
Looks like bass heaven right their
#flies Dont see any reason this would not do well with smallmouth in my area. Thanks for sharing.
#flies another wonderful tie hope to see many more
I had egg for breakfast didn't think I'd watch one being made later - killer pattern would go down well with the hotdog one 🌭 or a full fry up 😂
Gotta get him to do the taco fly lol. Those are cool looking fun to tie and actually catch fish lol.
#fly What a truly unique fly pattern. Where did go find the mop fly chenille ??
That one is called galaxy mop material I get mine from fly fish food
Oh!!! He said it twice!!!!🎉🎉
Why do you need to heat if you’re using UV resin?

#flies. I think this would work well in my area. Looks like fun to tie also.
The only thing that I don't like about fly fishing is fly fishermen.
