For Someone New To Tying

[crappiekid24]

I agree a ceramic bobbin is great! I have several now. Danville thread is a good thread for flat waxed thread. I like Uni-thread as it seems stronger then Danville. I use 6/0 Uni Thread for tying my jigs. I do use Danville flat waxed thread sometimes.

I would say the next biggest thing with tying is thread control and thread usage. Once you get it figured out you will be able to tie down materials in two or three turns of thread. Materials are not hard to lock into place and the less thread you use on flies or jigs the better they will look and the better they will stand up. I use hard head or sally hansen on my jigs but seldom on my flies. Also get a whip finisher and learn it and use it. Or whip finish by hand.
