Terry Beeson Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Nawwwwww, I never break thread!!!! Dano And you never miss a take either...

MrDucky Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Hold on...the thread isn't SUPPOSED to break while tying???????? Yikes!!! I Hate that warning horn
Jeremy Hunt Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 If you look in the recipe forum, you will see how to tie both as well. The fly is tied with "Mono" not thread at all. The key is not to see thread wraps, but make a clear segmentation on top of the D-rib. Go light on the dubbing and I mean "light". Dubbing when applied on the thread goes along way if you’re not careful gauging the right amount. Also the segments are close together. I also hit my thread on the hook point from time to time still. It happens my friend. All I can tell you to do is just get used to turning that thread around the hook shank. Once you get comfortable doing that you will find yourself slowing down on breaking threads. Just pay attention to your thread wraps when you get down to the bend. That seems to be the only time it happens. Also buy good bobbins right off the bat. Ceramic tubes will never fray the thread. jh Accept the drift.....<>>><flysandguides.comVisit my blog
Terry Beeson Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Also buy good bobbins right off the bat. Ceramic tubes will never fray the thread. NOW he tells me.... Correct-a-mundo, Mr Hunt... Ducky... You do superglue the ends back together when the thread breaks... Right? What? Nobody told you that? It's the ONLY proper way to recover from a broken thread...

Snow Fly Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Terry: Zacks web looks good. Now everyone will want to talk about balloon indicators. First time I ever heard of them, learn something new every day "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line"
Danoinark Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Speaking of balloon indicators, I have ordered some of the new connectors that hold mini balloons...Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Mikey Posted January 24, 2007 Author Posted January 24, 2007 I know my kids have got some lttle water balloons laying around here somewhere. And yea, I watched Zach tie the trout crack. I'll get the hang of it...on to the Y2K next, then a zebra midge. Gotta get some beads first. Mikey Each time I buy a new fly............ My wife gives me the same look........ I give her when she buys another purse... ..............................
Flysmallie Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Speaking of balloon indicators, I have ordered some of the new connectors that hold mini balloons...Dano Ok Dano, first you were pushing those eagle claw rods on us, now mini ballon connectors! Where will it end?? These balloons still seem a little large to me. Has everybody had good results with them?

Oh heck smallie I gotta million of em...hehehehe I think you just put enough air to inflate em is what Zach told me once. About thumb size. But I have to agree they sure look like they would be wind resistant. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Now everyone will want to talk about balloon indicators. Okay, my interest is up!? What are they? Ducky... You do superglue the ends back together when the thread breaks... Right? What? Nobody told you that? It's the ONLY proper way to recover from a broken thread... I disagree with Terry. The ONLY proper way is an overhand granny knot! John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
