Not sure if you are referring to bunching real eggs that are loose or a string of imitation eggs into a cluster, Coot. For loose real eggs I usually overlap the loose skeins and then double loop them in the leader's egg loop before gently snugging them to the hookshank. With the imitation eggs you can do a number of things with them to form a cluster; including the same as above. But I prefer the ones that are already shaped into a soft cluster and push them over the hookpoint and up the shank. They usually stay there pretty well, but you can add a thread bobber-stop below them on the shank to keep them in place. Or put them above the hookeye. - I will put up a new thread topic on imitation eggs (an excerp from my manuscript).
