What have you tied today?

[Robbie]

Magic tool is a set of plastic clips, some kind of like flat bulldog clips and others are "table" clips for want of a better description. You pull CDC feather, or any other feather, into slot in table clip. This doubles the feather over leaving the barbules sticking up vertically. Then take the flat clip and grab the barbules, release the table clip. You can them cut off the stems of the feathers, insert the barbules into a dubbing loop.

There will be some good videos on YouTube.

Sound handy Robbie, I've used a dubbing loop a fair bit but to try and keep big flies lighter with spun hair etc never really used it for trout flies. Something like that would've been hand cos it's a bit hit and miss trying to put stuff into the loop by hand.
