This will give you pretty much all the good options for finish a fly/jig. It is in video form.

Thank you I was doing my hand finish just a little diffent I think I like the way he did it alot better.
Great post Skip.
This video and other fly tying videos have already been posted in the archives (Stuff we don't want to lose on this board under the threads "For Someone new to tying," and in the archives of crappie.com under "Awesome fly tying videos."
All individuals who are just beginning to tie a basic jig should take a look at these threads. Anyway, thanks for showing them again.
I will make this a sticky for a while.

hmm was gonna watch the movies but unfortunately they are in quicktime format. I dont use quicktime because obviously thats a conflict in interest. Apple product on a PC based computer.
I was just wondering how to use that whip finisher that I got in my kit. Thanks Skip, for posting it for us to see. I realize it might have been in the archives, but I did not have to dig for it, and that is a plus. I see that it is relly easy to use the whip finisher. I am now fully primed to bust out that kit and see what I can make. I will keep you all posted on my blunders, and hopefully, cool things that I tie up for the fish to eat...
Just getting in to tying some of my own stuff and regardless as to Apple product or not, I'll use Quicktime to watch it.
Notice!!!
This link has changed for sure and you have to find it on that site. However if anyone can't or just doesn't want to look long enough send me your email in a PM and I will email them to you.

There are probably other videos by now that do the same, but I have not had time to find them. Maybe in a few days I can.
I have saved them on my computer so if you would like the one for the Matarelli I can email it to you. So anyone that wants this let me know and send me an email.

I don't have the link for that video any longer.
