For anyone that has trouble with the overbody on a sparkle pupa or emerger, I have three words, "The Book Mailer". I was watching a Grobert video, tying the sparkle emerger and I noticed that the antron material he was using for the overbody had an extremely fine denier. So I did some searching and came across this. LaFontaine Private Label - Sparkle Yarn
The stuff was cheap so I figured what the hell, give it a try. The yarn came in the mail yesterday and last night I set upon tying some sparkle emergers. I am still trying to figure out the best way to process the yarn for tying and maybe Grobert will weigh in on this, but I gotta' tell you that this stuff makes near perfect overbodies. I think that the fine denier of this antron yarn is the difference.
