I have it and it is OK, not spectacular and I would not buy it again. You can get the same information on the internet free of charge. Of course, he only talks about furled flies and after you learn the technique, all the flies look the same, just different colors of furled thread tails. Don't know

Joyce, that info helps out a lot. 1. I saw the photos of what he was doing and you seem right on. Just extended furled fiber-tails with lots of different flies applied. Once anyone gets the rope dub down pat, the furling is another open door to some cool applications, not just another tail on

Tony, Is that an 'LOL'? If that is so, is it a 'conflict of interest' to be hawking/selling it as a stockholder? How does it work? If I bought stock in Whiting, Flex-O, Mc Flyfoam, etc., can I still hawk their products? DonO - Original Message - From: Anthony Spezio To: vfb-ma

I don't know, Tony, Peggy... When you have a schtik like that, you could get sticky fingers. So are Dick and Dave bonding now? I heard it was slow starting, but they stuck it out. Should I become an adherent of CAs also? I'll 'tie' a fly without thread, that is all glued together. What to call it.
