  1. I agree on the bobbin, grab the two ends of it, like the wishbone of a turkey and pull them apart a LITTLE, then keep adjusting that gap until the tension is taunt while not breaking your thread. "I just tried one myself. The thread I have says it's waxed." - There is a great dubbing video here somewhere I think, I'll try to find it. "Why didn't the feathers spread out on the front of the hook. I used the hackle pliers and wrapped it around the hook but it did not seperate like I thought it would." - Did you run your fingers down the feather "roughing" it up before you tied it to the hook? Hold the feather by the tip in one hand, then grab below the tip with your thumb and index finger, then run those two fingers down the feather. Do this a few times and the feather will look "open" and separated. Keep it up!! Mark
