DonO: The other night I took apart some of the hooks you sent me that you
had demo'd the rope dub.. I peeled back the wire and the rope dub "light"
came on .. It finally makes since to Me.. Then I saw a video where Lefty
Kreh basically tied in a "rope dubbed" wooly bugger, to make it where you
can catch 100 fish on one fly.. He took a black and a yellow strand of
chenille, and the hackle feather.. Tied them in at the back of the hook as
normal, then twisted them into a rope, and tied them all in TOGETHER, and
lie he said, it wasn't as pretty as a real good spiraled in "Normal" wooly
bugger, but your hackles (and the "roped" chenille) would last ten times as
long as normal..I'm gonna have to give it a try now that I see it.. I am
still having trouble picturing how you'd rope in short stuff like the hares
mask.. But the longer stuff I now "see the light" er, uh, "see the rope"
LOL.. Chuck

Tony,
I do the same thing, but I 'rope-dub' it. The looks come out same as
yours,
except that the marabou dubbing 'rope' has a wire core. A thick wire
gives
it weight and a thin wire is less weight, but both are bullet-proof for
teeth. If I want it for dry flies, I just use my tying mono for the core,
and I get durability and zero extra weight.
I showed Pete Gramps how to do it at the NJ Symposium.

Chuck,
I tie a one marabou plume fly. Preen all the fibers to
the top. Tie in so that that end is a short stubby
tail. Twist the plume counter clockwise so that it
forms a "rope'. Lay it back and over wrap with thread
so that it covers the tie in wrap. Wrap the rope fwd
on the shank for the body. The tighter you twist the
rope the more segmented the body will be. Tie off
behind the eye. Lift that end of the plume back and
over wrap to form the head. Clip off about 1/4 to 3/8"
from the head. This will lay back for the wing. Seems
like olive and Orange are good colors.
