+1 for loctite...the one with the small brush applictor.
It is interesting to see so many different tying styles 'emerge' on something as 'simple' as a brassie.
I 1st tied brassies as per "From tying to fishing for smallmouth yellow fish with Jacques Marais' - 1 of the 1st DVDs I bought when I started out.
I have never really questioned the superglue method, until now.
Tied a few this morning by tying-in the wire underneath the hookshank, from bead to start of hook-bend and then wrapping back with the wire. It is slightly bulkier than the single-layer wrapping but not excessively so and looks great.
This got me wondering; what size wire [Med, BR, SM] do you guys use with what size hook?
I am tying #16 at the moment and not sure if the MED is ok or whether I should go thinner
Thanks for all the replies; I can sense we will soon see an SBS from 1 of our resident experts

I use a needle to put some LockTite on the hook shank....then turn the wire on. With this you dont have that "smudgy" look as all the glue is under the wire.
I dont use any glue.
This is the same way I tie mine.
