| This tool has three interchangable heads. Use (A) for size 16 or smaller flies, (B) for size 8 to 14 flies, and (C) for flies size 6 or larger. | Make a 4 to 6 inch loop opposite the barb of the hook. Wrap the thread forward to just behind the eye of the hook. Put the tool head into the loop as shown. | Fill the dubbing loop with dubbing as shown. |
 |
 |
|
| Twist or spin the head on the dubbing tool clockwise to twist the thread and lock in the hair fibers. Twist until a rope is formed. | Wrap the rope forward on the hook using the dubbing tool. When you advance to your thread tie down the rope with your tying thread and trim off the waste. Your are now finished with the dubbing tool. Now resume tying the remainder of the fly with your fly tying thread |
 |
1) Hold the Whip Finish Tool in your hand trapping the ball located just above the handle between thumb and index finger. (This prevents the tool from turning.) While holding the tool in this manner, position the head of the tool on tying thread as shown in Figure 1. |
| 2) Bring bobbin and thread up toward the middle of the hook shank. The thread should be positioned very close to the hook shank as in Figure 2. |  |
 |
3) Release the ball that has been trapped between your thumb and index finger. This will allow the head of the tool to rotate to the position shown in Figure 3. |
| 4)Lift tool up and toward the hook as if to wrap thread onto the hook. While doing this, move the bobbin toward you. Maintain thread tension on bobbin. You should now have formed a thread triangle between points A, B, and C. See Figure 4. Rotate the tool forward, (away from you), wrapping the thread between point A and C around the hook shank as in Figure 4.4a) When the thread has been wrapped an adequate amount of times (3 to 5 turns), the tool has to then be released from the knot. To do this, first finish wrapping the thread so the hook (Point A) on the head of the tool is facing straight upward as in Figure 4. |  |
 |
5) Now move your tool so that the tool is in the position shown in Figure 5. This motion will allow the heel of the tool (Point B) to release from the thread triangle. |
| 6) The thread is now held by the hook portion of the tool (Point A) as in Figure 6. Apply a little extra tension to the bobbin and release a little tension on the tool. The thread should pull through the knot, pulling the tool toward the hook and knot. When the tool is just resting on the hook, tip the tool handle to release the tool hook from the knot. Apply just enough pressure to the bobbin to just snug the knot. Repeat the above process if any additional whip finish knots are desired. When you are done, trim thread and apply Wapsi head cement. |  |

 |
| This vise is constructed of high carbon steel for maximum durability.The improved tapered jaws are designed to hold hooks securely, from a 6/0 cadmium plated saltwater hook, down to a number 22 midge. The grooved shank enables the fly tyer to rotate the vise without altering the height adjustments.
For the best performance adjust your vise as indicated. |
|
| Adjust the barrel until it fits snugly against the vise shank. | |
 |
 |
| Adjust the black knurled fitting forward or backward, according to the hook size being used, until the lever locks in the position shown. | The hook should be clamped in the jaws at the lower bend as shown above. The point and barb should not be concealed by the jaws, as this position may damage the hook. |
