Hackle Guard

I'm don't understand this ...slipping stuff on the bobbin stuff....since you can just slit the straw

I've done the slit straw and it worked most of the time with a little finess. I did have some trouble with the straw twisting and torqueing and not holding all of the hackles that slipped through the slit in the straw. The slit method works, but I think there are better ways.

Thanks for posting the question ,I always wondered about that also.
I use a 1/4 inch piece of oxygen tubing, and slip it over the end of the bobbin ----then over the eye of the hook .

Warm Regards
