OK.
I use a rotary vise.
I use an automatic bobbin, mostly.
I use tweezers.
I use sizzors.
I use a Materelli whip.
And a bodkin.
Hair stacker, hackle pliers, and 14/0 thread, water based fly head cement....
I must be a Borg! :rolleyes:
But.........
I use natural ingredients....
Hair, feathers, cotton threads, fur (not dyed)...
And the above are put on with my finners....
Hey! My finners are on my hands!
Dad Gum! Maybe that makes "hand tyed"! :roll:
I'd like to see a video of a hand tyed, #28 hook fly.
No, no vise, no bobbin, no sizzors, no nothin but the hook, materials, and finners used.
