John. I noticed in your last pic of the Slammer that you have the eyes set back on the bucktail with a smaller head. When I do my heads I usually bring the Goop or epoxy back on the wing a bit more and set the eyes while it is still setting up so that I can squeese them into the glue a bit, but it makes for some rather large heads especialy on the smaller flies. Have you experienced any falling off of eyes that are mounted on the hair? Or am I concerned over nothing. My usual drill is to tie off, add a layer of Hard Head, let set, add eyes and then epoxy over the whole thing. Makes big heads but It looks good and they never come off.
