when tying the foam body on instead of going from one segment to the next go under the foam then to the next segment makes the body look nicer

Good fly. My issue with it though is that there is really nothing keeping it in place on the hook. The slightest disturbance is going to roll the body.

@dpatch777 Thanks for the feedback. Actually, the super-glue does a pretty good job at securing the foam to the thread base on the hook. Plus, when you apply the thread wraps, it ends up "pinching" the foam around the hook a bit more which also gives it more surface area to bite. You might have missed the glue step, as it was pretty quick.
