Jim, When it comes to "rope" dubbing I am not the expert,nor can I show how it is done. I had a quick session with Don last year but it was too quick with all that was going on. Regular dubbing is another story, I can show you that real easy. I don't use wax and I don't have any problems keeping it on the thread. The problems I see tyers doing with dubbing is, too much dubbing applied to the thread. Take the amount you think you need, half that then half it again. Now the biggie, only roll the dubbing on one direction. "towards the eye of the hook". Here is what I do that works for me. Spread the dubbing between my thumb and first finger. Bring the thread over the dubbing roll the dubbing about a half turn away from the hook eye and then roll it towards the eye. This is done all in one motion. Keep rolling the dubbing on the thread towards the hook eye till it is tight as you want it. By doing this, when you wrap the dubbing on the hook shank, the thread twists with the dubbing and tightens up some more. If the dubbing is wrapped on the thread away from the eye, it will loosen up on the thread. When I wrap on the hook, I wrap one wrap forward and make the next wrap overlapping the previous wrap. This gives me a bullet proof body. It is just the way I do it do it, that don't mean it is right or wrong. It works for me. Now if I want a body that is real fuzzy, well that is for another post. Heck just come to the Sowbug and I will be glad to show you.LOL Tony --- jim phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
