Larry,
I understood that. When I watch Norm at the shows, he creates taper with
multiple passes,
and I haven't seen him segment a fly yet.
Maybe he does, I'll have to ask him at the next show in Denver in a few
months.

I said that I can't adjust it unless I unwind it.

Larry & Joyce,
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm getting two different answers. Larry says he can't
adjust the taper and distribution and Joyce says she can. See quotes below.
This is a quote/review from a DVD buyer & x-professional tier:
"Don, for years I twisted the dubbing along with the thread, so therefore I
broke a lot of thread. I used to be a commercial fly tyer and tied lots of
trout flies. You definitely have refined the roping method to where it is
really practical and have helped me re-define my dubbing techniques. Tying
damsel flies, dragonflies and other nymphs, warm-water flies, and small jigs
suddenly became very easy. I can also see applications for when I tie flies
for ice fishing. Thanks" Paul Maurer
Please enlighten me. CMW2K
Thanks, DonO
"It stays a straight line core so you can move the dubbing up or down, thin
it out or make it thicker as you desire. " Joyce

DonO: The thread spins with the rest of the materials. Once it starts
turning I cannot adjust the taper or distribution of the other materials on
unless I "un-spin" it. That can be done with a little practice. Yes, I
have spun the thread too tight. At that point it is very difficult to save
the process because usually all the materials have nothing to hold them
together. The up-side of that is that it just takes a second to re apply
the thread and add more peacock, tinsel and hackle. .... Larry J
