Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 So I've been known to tie a few deerhair flies and i have all the toys. Chris Helm actually bought the rights to the brassie, because he realized the values to having the notch's that actually is key to tight packing.I have tied a bunch using brassie and still use it. Pat Cohen initially uh sed the brassie, but based on the numbers of flies he ties, the brassie wasnt holding up to the job. Overall, the jr is my go to, strickley based on the size and how it fits in my hands. This is an older thread, so im not sure if anyone following Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
