That's the truth!!!! I learned the whip the hard way with the old Thompson whip tool!!! Those who know what it is would agree, use a Materelli tool now but have gone to using my hands more and more.

i had to take the wife to the DR today and so it was an automatic day off so i went to bass pro and the guy in the fly fishing department showed me how to use the whip finisher and then he let me give it a try and it was hard the first couple of times but the third time i used the whip finisher it was a breeze i guess i just need someone to show me now the whip finisher is quick and easy :D
i jsut looked up your 3 ways to finish Skip and i guess i missed it but thanks it will still help me out alot :cool:
That Thompson is really only any good on flies and is one thing I have against some kits as that is what they put in them and you can't tie a jig with that whip finish tool. It is hard enough to use on a fly, LOL!Quote:

A couple of half hitches and a wip finish
what is the difference between head cement and clear finger nail polish?
is there one?
sewing thread or the tying thread and what is up with the tying wire? that i seen at bass pro is that too thin for crappie jigs?
:confused:
Well, I have learned a few things over the years. I prefer flexement, but some on here like the clear fingernail polish. As far as the thread, get the real stuff!! Sewing thread does work and used it for years but it just does not have the strength as the good stuff. What size or thickness or whatever it goes by.... I'm still undecided there!
