<p>Slip, I use super glue <strong>and</strong> lead filings. The glue by itself won't work. The filings fill in the gap around the hook and the slot and the super glue bonds the whole thing together like its soldered on. </p>
<p>I'd probably use thread if I was tying flies bodies on the hook, but not sure if the bead would stay oriented correctly though. On the Daiichi hooks, the slot is towards the hook eye and the eye will go into the slot if the bead can rotate. </p>

<p>These are my tungsten slotted bead jigs. Ones on the left weigh ~1/64 oz 4.0 mm bead, top two on Daiichi 1130 size 12, bottom on a Gamakatsu J20 size 12. Ones on the right weigh ~1/32 oz 4.6 mm bead, top two on Daiichi 1130 size 10, bottom on a Gamakatsu J20 size 10. My go to is the 4.6 mm Daiichi 1130 #10 tipped the a gulp waxie. The fine wire size, big gap and mirco barb = good hook-ups at long distance with my slip float setup. Beads are attached as explained …</p>

<p>Wow, I didn't know that. All I can tell you is that it's a slow forum, and seems to have slowed down from what it was 2 years ago. All I can say is to try again? Maybe if you give me the handle you were using, I can contact one of the owners and ask them.</p>

<p>Ken, could you tell me and others how you make the Spring Cricket keeping in mind I’ve never tied a fly. But do have the tools and stuff to do it this winter.</p>
<p> Thanks </p>
