oatka 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2007 This month will be the 8th month that I've held a monthly fly tying party at my house. Twice we went fishing, so this will be the 6th time tying. Since we all share with everyone and sometimes have beginners join us that don't have tools and materials, it can be interesting to find tools at the end of the night. So, I marked mine today. Simply wrap thread around the tools and cover it with something. My "something" was Halloween nail polish with sparkles. Hopefully the nail polish will hold. I tried just thread before and it came apart real easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2007 I'm going to do exactly the same thing to mine, before I come over...I could use a few more bobbins. (just kidding) That is actually a super clever idea. It's an easy way to identify which tools are yours at the end of the night. :headbang: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oatka 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 mnorton, no, the color does not match anything else I have (well, except for some egg flies), but the orange thread, with sparkle nail polish might be just girly enough to keep the guys from walking off with them. If you are really worried, use pink! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
