Boy I just get deeper and deeper in this

I don't know man, but just ordered a Magic tool and some CDC to play around with. I thought I was going to be done with dubbing loops since I got into rope dub, but now looks like doing loops and splitting thread is back in my room here.

Darn I don't think there is an end to this sickness!

Just pull up the Magic Tool. I have been wanting some of them but didn't know what it was called, thanks!! LOL now that I know, I'll be getting it . Seen some videos of people using them and the flies look very good. Look forward to seeing your pics.

Just tell your wife like I do. "At least it keeps me out of the beer joints". She's a little easier on me then. LOL

Yes they make 2 sizes and I got the small or regular ones. I just don't want to think about splitting thread and you have to with this. I also got some stuff coming that is going to be really strange, but needs to also be tied with a loop. This stuff is like a bunch of really thin rubber bands (not actually a band though) and tied like CDC is I think. Also got a little CDC to try out too.

The rubber hackle stuff has some serious potential! Let me know what you think of the Magic Tool.

[skiptomylu]

Will do qk! This stuff if you have not seen it is very fine rubber strips and is labeled as dub. I am already thinking of using that tool and making a body of this stuff and can change colors so thinking Black & Chart for sure and more.

I know exactly what stuff you're talking about. It seems like you need a dubbing brush to use it, though... I need to get or make a dubbing brush tool. The potential is there to make a GREAT-looking jig out of that stuff!

I ordered a Magic Tool I plan on using this with. The guy told me that you have to sue a dubbing loop for this and I tried other ways and geeze it just goes everywhere, LOL! I was speaking with him when I made my new order and ask him about that stuff as he sent me some as a sample and I just couldn't do anything with it. He said, Yeah you got to make a dubbing loop for it. So here I am and was going to get the Magic Tool anyway. Also got the DVD from them that tell how to use all their tools and was told it's a very good DVD with lots of tips and I kind of could use it since I have several of his tools and some not sure I am using them correct.

So when it comes in I will learn to split the thread and make a loop, but I also went on and got some CDC to play with too.

I too think it can make some great stuff and I already plan on making a body that is 2 or even 3 colors all divided so it would may be something like Black & Chartreuse or Blue and Chartreuse.

Before you order more CDC, give me a shout. I might know a guy who likes to kill ducks and geese more than tie jigs! If we have a good year, I'll be well into filling up a gallon Ziplock by the end of November.

Oh will do! Thanks, and geese have what I have been told the biggest CDC. I may have some from Ducks the guys around here got for me. I know they got a good many wood ducks for me and I think a guy down in South LA. sent me some pintail and not sure what else, maybe some mallard.

I have no geese and sure would love to get some CDC from that.
