Tip for dealing with krystal flash and flashabou

[Shoemoo]

You know how krystal flash and flashabou comes in those long plastic bags? Instead of pulling the entire bunch out of the bag, take your scissors and snip a small hole in the package. With krystal flash, cut a corner off. With flashabou, cut a small slit near where it is stapled to the card. When you want to use some, just reach your scissors, bodkin or tweezers through the hole and pull out as many stands as you want, then snip them off. Keeps your packages and tying area neat.

Can't claim credit for this one since I saw it in a YouTube video, but it wasn't about tying crappie jigs, so I thought I'd share.

Sounds like a perty cool idea

Yep. If you have trouble with tying it in you can also moisten it with your mouth and it'll stick together so you tie it all in at once.
