I like using popper hooks for this type of flies. It puts the eyes in direct line with the shank of the hook and still turns them over really well.

Include the hook make, size (from that we can then proceed with alternate hook) and thread in your material list. Organize the list in the order the materials are tied in.

Thank you for the feedback! I will edit the list soon and in future video. Originally I wanted to keep the material list basic with missing info to encourage people to experiment w colour, hook type, and maybe even material.
