Tip
Tip: A hand whip finish is a usable finishing method when no whip-finish tool is used
How to do it: Finish a fly by hand whip finish if no tool is available, rather than skipping a secure finish
Mistake it fixes: Skipping a secure finish without a tool
Why it works: A hand whip finish locks thread and materials securely. A weak finish unravels after a few fish.
When it matters most: Fly tying
