WHIP FINISH
|
A. Whip Finish 1) Take thread and hold down below shank. Place whip finisher against thread as shown with thread hooked on end of tool. |
|
|
2)Bring bobbin up and against hook shank while bringing whip finisher handle toward you in preparation for the next operation. This next move is the hard part. |
|
|
3)Flip finisher so that handle points out from hook eye and thread forms a figure four. No this is not a wrestling take down. |
|
| Whip finishing without tying down your hackle barbs, especially on a parachute pattern, is a pain. You might try this, after you make the figure four with the thread using the finish tool, hold the bobbin in your pinky and try pulling back the hackle with three fingers, then continue whip finish. |
I told you starting the thread was the easy part! |
|
6) Make 5 or 6 wraps with finisher. End with hook of finisher above shank. Tilt handle down and let thread slip from lower thread catch with only finisher hook holding thread. |
|
|
7)Pull bobbin backward from hook bend, this will bring finisher hook to hook eye. Slip finisher hook out of thread and tighten thread with rearward pull of bobbin. Cut excess thread. |

Go immediately to nearest river and proceed to put your fly in a tree on the first cast. This will cause you to loose the fly and you are now forced to tie another, This is how we get good at tying flies!
