I was having trouble tying VIP poppers when inserting the glue saturated hook into the body. Sometimes the hook eye would wander off the route I made through the body with the bodkin and the hook would end up a little off to one side or the other. I started threading a loop of mono through the body first and pulling the hook through with it. It made it much easier to get the hook positioned where I wanted it.
