Wax GSP threads
Gel Spun Polymer (GSP) tying threads can be extremely smooth, and will sometimes slip on materials or the hook shank. In order to overcome that, just add hard wax sparsely to a small piece of the thread. This can be done while tying, before a step where the thread needs to hold. The wax can be basically any kind of hard wax - made for fly tying, ski wax, toilet ring wax or anything suitable.

Since you got this far …
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
