Subject: Re: [VFB] Deer hair spinning
With all this deer hair talking about spinning,
packing and stacking,I should have Rene put my deer
hair Sunfish on my fly page on his site.It is spun,
stacked and packed with different color hair. Will
send him a photo tomorrow.

think Rene,Mart,and Nick have also seen when they were
here.

Lane,
If you allow the deer hair to be uniformly spun
around the shank of the hook
as you flare it (tightening the thread wraps),
that's spinning.
If you do not allow the hair to spin around the
shank as you tighten and
flare, that's stacking. Over-and-under stacking is
tying two stacks
opposite each other, normally of different colors,
to get a top-side color
and a belly color.
Packing is crushing the deer-hair stacks or spins to
the rear of the hook to
create density or designs, then re-tying in front or
that packed section,
normally with more deerhair to continue the design
forward to the eye.
Spin/pack/trim multiples for bass-bug heads.
Stack/pack/trim for sculpin heads and such.
