I was reading the secret santa thread about the gifts everyone was receiving and was curious about the dubbing twister Ol' blue got. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/a...0&d=1292365991 I looked them up online and even watched a you tube video or two about how to use them. They seem like a good way to twist up alot of dubbing very quickly.

My question is do you twist them up and keep them until you get ready to tie a fly needing that particular kind of dubbing, or do you use them as you go? If they'll keep I can see the advantage, but if they unravel unless tied to a hook and used immediately then I can't see much advantage. Seems to me they would unravel unless used quickly, but I'm not sure. Am I over thinking this, or am I missing something?

thanks in advance,
