Piker20 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2017 First time I've seen this one from Dronlee. I am thinking that the needle is slid out when the tail is of the desired length and then the plain kevlar thread tied in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's where I saw he tied on the needle but not 100% clear if he leaves that in or takes it out. I was wondering if the material remains well secured once the needle comes out.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2017 Oh ... it looks like the needle is gone when he ties the tail to the hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2017 Yes I'm certain he slides the needle out but I'm concerned how well the material remains attached as the kevlar thread will become flat and lose some of the contact with the thread wraps that were to the needle size.

MouseManiac 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2017 It just doesn't seem like the dubbing would be as long as those fibers look. I don't see how that works like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dronlee 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2017 Allow me to answer how it's tie on the kevlar... you will need a needle to insert thru the kevlar, the material are tie direct onto the kevlar and secured with a little flex resin. There are knots in between each tied on materials, to prevent to material to slip... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
