    Donald, nice looking WB!

    Do you have a problem with the hackle breaking and unraveling after catching several fish?

      allen-have had this happen on many palmered patterns. you can counter wind wire thread what ever to trap the hackle stem.you must wind it opposite the direction of the hackle and use a bodkin to pull the hackle fibers out as you go.or you can use head cement or supr glue on the stem
