Dubbing: center tying???

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, just read a mention to center tie in a small bunch of dubbing in a fly recipe. I've never heard of that technique. Can anyone fill me in on this? The objective of the manoever was to form a decent size ball on the shank.

 

Thanks!

look where they lay in a wad of craft fur, then wrap their thread around its center,

then fold the remaining half rearward

 

Bingo!!! Ha ha... I'm way too old.. Didn't even think of checking youtube!!! Thanks so much!

Aye, but the way I see it, never too old to learn.

 

It's a neat trick that generates a fast build.

Indeed! Works great fir stringy dubbing such as this and ice dubbing!

thanks for the help!
