I find that if I have a good thread base and I touch on a little daves flexament(not much), that helps me a lot. I've found that the trout don't mind a little bulge here and there anyway. Happy tying...

That's what is sitting in my vise right now. Trying to learn how to tie these, and as usual the first culprits are looking pretty wanky. I have discovered I really don't know professional techniques for wrapping a good professional looking tinsel body shank! Too much of a bulge where the tail is tied in, tinsel wraps are uneven with some wraps pooching out a bit. First... any tips on how to tie a killer tinsel body? Second... any personal secrets for a great Rolled Muddler? Here's the one photo I have found. <http://www.guidebc.com/flypatterns/rolledmuddler_cutthroat.asp> Wes Wada Bend, Oregon
