video - softhackle wet - with split thread dubbing

Hans, Howdy;

Thanks for the video. Nice to see the Master at work.
Like the way you explained what it was, that you were doing,
as you went along.
Really had a difficult time seeing the thread when you split it.
Maybe a different color would show better ?

Thanks also for the close-up (still).

I will do a short clip with just the thread splitting, using a bright red 6/0 Danville Flymaster.

You may also try to play this HD version - perhaps will be clearer

I struggle to do that with #6 thread...... and you are using #12!
Nice instructional video Hans.

The tippet on the Uni was interesting, that is my most easily found and commonly used thread here. I may have to find another locally to try.

Excellent demonstration, Hans. I enjoyed watching the techniques demonstrated in each of you videos. Extremely efficient tying. It was great to finally watch you in action. Thank you for taking the time to create and share this with us.

You mean when I was not dropping materials or mis-poking the thread?

I could of course have edited those out, but why miss out on sharing that part of the fun too, right?

It indeed was fun to shoot them, and post.

I might even do one or two more - be afraid, be very afraid...

Cheers,
Hans W
