despatiesim 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2016 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
