You said it perfectly! portioning and finger control. Glad you learned something!!!! Yea went been crazy this year that's why I can't do too many videos. Went from Canada to France to Slovakia to Norway and now in Hungary! Here for a couple months so time to tie 🤟
Gday from Australia mate. Rattling jigs is something we both seem to share the ideas with except we do not have the same fish species as you do. I do the same thing with my rattles by cutting off that little T section. Then i position my rattle on the back of the hook shank. Now unlike you I use shrink wrap to hold my rattle into place then thread wrap over the main body but leave the ends exposed. I too also use Zap a Gap waterproof super glue over the thread. Now i can use bucktail like you do which i do sometimes but i really like using rabbit fur zonkers in two tone colours with dyed stripes from hareline. I position the strips either side of the rattle and wrap it in. Then i will dress it off in bucktail and krystal flash. Then i will wrap a U.V. chenille around the neck and make sure all your fibres are brushed backwards over the whole body. I also do the same thing with rattle and hook but then i do a 3 feather marabou rap using my hackle pliers. I wind the feathers over the rattle body towards the jighead. Then i tie it off. Now i make my heads and for these jigs i designed my own underspin jig head which i powdercoat. Now unlike everyone else I do not have my blade swivel protuding from the head. Instead i use a do-it figure 8 insert then attach my split ring to that. So with that in mind i make my neck finish in a bare wrap normally in red then use Loon hard head in clear. This gives the blade room to move unimpeded . I am not on instagram or Facebook any longer. I however have a email address and love watching U-tube and other jig tyers at work. Best Regards B.J.

Nice to see some nice fly tying of you again!
Thank you! Been travelling a ton a super busy. More to come 🤟
I learned to spin bucktail from your musky patterns. Finger control and portioning. Love that you travel so do I.
