Nice video! Just happened to notice the scissors you used to trim the thread, they look very sharp and come to a fine point, just wondering what the scissors are since I’m looking for a nice pair. I also like your whip finisher, is it an original materelli or just a replica/copy, if so where did you get it from? If you don’t mind :) Thanks, Alex

Excellent, thank you.

This shit sucked

ty my brother from indonesia

THIS is the video that taught me. 1000’s of flies later just wanted to say thank you 🙏

As someone who is new to this hobby, thank you for this video

Man i been putting off learning that for years. Just gotta get me a tool now.

Excellent, that's helped me no end , thank you , all the best , David.

No one not even this video helps me whip finish nothing is good

Great pattern. Simple and effective.

That was awesome

Ouch. Whip finish should instead be tied forward from the back of the hook towards the eye. To see why, scale up with small diameter rope/string on a broom handle ... s/b readily apparent why. This tutorial, well intentioned, promoting a bad habit?

Hi many thanks for sharing amazing content I subbed you do you have any advice on buying a fly tying kit as I am interested in tying my own flies. Many thanks.clive.

Great video. Hope you're in good health. I see it's been 10 years since you've posted your 1st video. Wish you had more available because your step by step process was great and easy to follow.

Great video thanks

Oh my Goodness! You make it look SO SIMPLE!!!

Phenomenal video. Simple and to the point. Keep it up.

My friend tried to show me this knot all night and I couldn't do it and this video showed it to me in 15sec

Thank you for showing this, i got that exact tieoff tool as a present recently and didn't know how to properly use it (I'm used to an older version that im borrowing, it's very bendy and has a spring like part to it)

You can also use a looped piece of thread, bind over that, and pull the end through. I'm not a fan of extras in my tying. Scissors, a good Regal vise, and decent ingredients. Whip Finishers? Not really a thing most people would need if they took a five minute lesson. IMHO

The best way and quickest is to use your right and and two fingers! Watch someone who knows, and you don't need ANY hardware like this. The single hand method is, was, and will be used by pro fly tiers. It is simple, accurate, and incredibly simple. Check out and old timer, or someone who knows how to do it. As far as this whip finisher, it's ok, but not needed. Who taught me? Al Brewster, Art Flick, Joe Bates. Is that good enough for you experts out there?

So you’ve got a hook with some thread tied on it… is this a start to something? Does it go somewhere like when we get to the part when I put feathers on the thing?

I just started tying, and was trying to figure out what to do with that tool. This seriously helped me. Thanks👍

Couldn't have been made better, thank you!

This is how you compose videos, people. No fluff, no nonsense.

This want helpfull also try to go slowet

Great slow and easy tutorial 👍

Awesome tutorial! Quick, easy and no bullshit! Love it! Thank you!

Your videos are as good as your books!

Well damn. This minute and half could have saved me 2 months, a stomach lining and a vise that I wouldn’t have thrown out the window.

This was very helpful thank you!

Thank you! Very clear explanation!!

Thanks so much for this

Thank you!

For over a year as beginner i made always the knot with my hands coz i found no other videos that explains it so slow and easy, thanks bro! I'm going to try it out right away👍

So helpfull

Wow this was a perfect video, I took a break from tying flies for about a year or two and needed a refresher thanks for the helpful video

im self teaching myself to tie and mostlyivebeen able to skate on creativity, but i wasnt happywith the ugly finish knots i was making, thanks for making this video short and simple!

Great Tip. Regards

Thank you!

I have watched this video over and over again. I still can't seem to get this to work.

Seriously this is the ABSOLUTE BEST explanation

i still suck at this. send help

No don’t take my comment away!

To finish my first fly yesterday morning, I had to watch this here video to learn how to do the Whip Finish. The instructional video by tightlinevideo (kzbin.info/door/IdIkp_uBiYEw-Pb4-BDBjw), which I watched to learn to tie a Wooly Bugger, skipped showing that part. Fantastic video. You made it possible for me to wrap up my first one ! Thanks !!

Dis is super helpful

Great vid!! Great instruction!! Right to the point! Thanks!!

Thanks again just rushed off to give it a go and eureka it actually worked I've just got to learn to tie flies now and I've cracked it

Thanks makes much more sense it's like you have revealed a magicians secret

That was the video I’ve been searching for. Thank you.
