  • Whip finish tool

    That was one item I never got around to using or buying. I learned how to do this knot using my thumb, index finger and middle finger. I used to watch the guys in the fly shop using a whip finish tool to finish off their flies and asked why they did not use their own hands. The did not believe that it was faster until I demonstrated how. I was able to finish this knot quicker every time unless I tried against a professional fly tyer who used the tool far more than any average tier.
    Good vid though
