RE: [VFB] Re: A thread thread

[mark romero]

I take it when you guys keep refering to bulk as a potential proble, your 
meaning with trout flies, especially dries. I find that bulk is no problem 
at all with wets, especially salmon flies. After all, the more thread (in 
the body at least) the more water will be soaked up, and help sink it. Not 
that i ever try to add any bulk,.....but it's not a problem at all. Not to 
mention that my loop is a lot stronger than split thread. jmtc, mark...

Instead of using the dubbing loop which will create more bulk you can split
the thread and put your materials in the split thread.  When you put 
tension
on the thread it will hold your materials tight.  It also will hold up
nicely for fishing because your materials are held better than just dubbing
them around the thread.

Can I ask why would one "Split" thread?  I'm not understanding the
purpose/concept of splitting.
