Thank you for not skipping steps in showing this. I was pulling my hair out as a beginner with orvis' explanation. Finally got some knots tied in a way I can remember
I've also watched many videos about how to use this tool with little success-until I found yours. Thank you. I agree that explaining the angles really helped.
Thank you so much. I started fly tying a few months ago and this is something I’ve struggled with. Watched lots of videos with not much positive result but after watching this one I finally understand. You did an awesome job especially explaining the angles. Thank you.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have tried so many videos and failed sooo many times to whip finish correctly. Your video is simply the best of the lot.
Excellent explanation. Agree with other comments, seen many people talk about it, never understood this well. Someitmes less truly is more and I appreciated you keeping it simple. Thank you.
I have just started learning to make fly's and the whip finishing i couldn't get correct,what a great video no i have mastered it just from watching and practising with your video fantastic video well done thank you so much.
Thanks for posting one of the best tutorials on this subject. That said, I’d like to identify an essential step that you must use or else you have not tied a whip finish knot. You will end up with a series of multi wound half hitches. This was demonstrated years ago by a re-known Catskill fly tier, guide, caster, and fly fishing instructor. The step is simply this: once you begin to spin the tool around the shank of the hook, the tool must travel from Left to Right. Or, another way of say it is that the winds must go towards the eye. I have tried to watch every whip finish tutorial and have not seen this essential step mentioned at all.
Your demo was great. I really appreciate the pace you used in this demo. I watched another demo by a person who rolled along with a quick clip. The only thing I got out of it was pissed off. THANK YOU.
I greatly appreciate you doing this video I watched a bunch of them and just can't seem to get it for some reason another your video didn't and I just started fly tying I greatly appreciate cuz I was at my wit's end.
At 63 I am just starting to tie. This helped me so much. Thank you. I fish mostly saltwater. Larger hooks 4/0 to 8/0. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for such a straightforward demo. A friends grandfather passed years ago and left him his entire fly kit that could have easily filled 4-5 of those giant purple Rubbermaid tubs (think 40gal) and my friend was nice enough to set me up a starter kit from the doubles,triples,and even quadruples of tools and materials. I still had to buy a few things but not very much. Anyways the whip finishers always confused me. People would show how to use em but with two or three wrist flicks it'd be done and I couldn't see what was taking place. I'm also in crafting "self-bows" and make my own bow strings. Essentially it's the same process that's used in finishing off "serving" the nocks and center of the main string. Like a reverse wrap if you will. Except on bowstrings your dealing with larger diameter strands so it's easily doable by hand where as with flies the smaller threads,the hook,and the tight quarters make a special tool very useful. Sorry for the rant, thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the lesson ,I was given a fly tying kit from my son and wasn't sure how to use the whip finisher. The fly tying world is new to me and it's hard to see exactly how it's done on fly tying videos. God bless.
I got my first white finisher today and just failed and failed. Turned out it was that the whip finisher was malformed. My hook was above the axis of the handle. It flipped funny, didn't wrap well if at all, and wouldn't wrap freely, having to be manually spun on order to turn correctly. I bent the front part of the arm until the hook sat below the axis of the handle and tried whip finishing twice to test it and it worked like it should both times. Watching this video gave me the close-up of a functioning unit to see what was wrong with mine.
For over a decade I have tied flies completely backwards. (probably not a big deal) Relearning how to do this when you not only learned to half-hitch by hand (backwards). I should have continued to do it backwards, but old dogs can learn new tricks.
I just received a Dr. Slick 6" whip finisher from Barlow's and watched your video to try and learn how to use the tool. I don't know what brand finisher you are using in the video, but the notch on the back end of your finisher is deeper then the notch on my Dr. Slick finisher and no matter how careful I am the thread keeps sliding out of the notch before my whip knot is finished. If you can suggest to me a better martinelli finisher, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Respectfully, George Santee, Ca
It doesn't make a knot, it makes a locking half hitch. As the standing thread that is running to the bobbin is held rearward, the thread feeding the whip finisher wraps around the standing thread and as you draw the whip finisher out it locks the standing thread under the wrapped thread. We use this technique when applying peep sights, soft knocks, etc. to bow strings. No knot and is strong and flat,

Good night. Could you please indicate me the name of the tool that holds the hook?
It's called the vice
Air Little
You mean vise.
A vice is a immoral or wicked behavior.
fly tying vise
👍👍👍
thanks
Here, hold my beer 🔥🤙🤙😂🤣😎🤙🔥
Thanks for watching!
One or two knots??? Will just one hold??? Or two ??
2 is absolute minimum. Most people do 3-5 turns...
Then what do you do? Cut it and put some glue on it?
yep
After u whip it it looks like the knoit comes loose
Nah...it doesnt
الله الله الله
don't make it complicated.. it is an eazy stuff to do.
🤣
Thanks for watching!

Flatting, huh.
👍
You're tutorial sucks you just show half of the bite. You don't show the movement of the tool.
if you dont understand this video you might want to try a differrent hobby, maybe collecting letter stamps or something
👍
A big thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
