Subject: Re: [VFB] Hackle and thread direction
Here is a trick I use to keep the hackles out of the way. Wrap the
hackle to where you will be tying off. Just before the last wrap, strip
off the barbs and finish with a bare stem wrap. Another trick it to
slide the thread as you finish wrap on the top of the hook eye and under
the hook eye as you wrap. This will have the tread push any stray barbs
back away from the hook eye.

Chuck,
Do what works for you. I wrap clockwise because I tie off that way too.
I find if I wrap counter clockwise and tie off clockwise the thread
pulls the material the opposite way loosening it at the tie in point.

Folks: I finally got me some small hackle, and am having trouble with
it a little... My question is this..I tie right handed,and Say, on a
woolly bugger, I would wrap the thread clockwise as the hook eye
points towards me in the vise.. Then, I WAS wrapping chenille and
hackle in that SAME direction.. But all night it wanted to come
unraveled.. So, I wound the thread clockwise, and then the chenille
and hackle counterclockwise, so, that when I went to tie it off, the
thread would cross over the hackle and/or chenille and seem to hold
better.. Is there anything Wrong with doing it this way???? My DVD's
and Books show them all doing it the same way I was doing it, in the
same clockwise direction.. Or is this one of those "Whatever works for
you is the right way"???? Thanks in advance, Chuck
