How To Use Whip Finish Fly Tying Tool - Easy Whip Finisher Instructions & Step By Step Directions 

Thank you for not skipping steps in showing this. I was pulling my hair out as a beginner with orvis' explanation. Finally got some knots tied in a way I can remember

Thank you You simply improved my fly tying skills greatly

Thank you so much. I started fly tying a few months ago and this is something I’ve struggled with. Watched lots of videos with not much positive result but after watching this one I finally understand. You did an awesome job especially explaining the angles. Thank you.

Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have tried so many videos and failed sooo many times to whip finish correctly. Your video is simply the best of the lot.

I've also watched many videos about how to use this tool with little success-until I found yours. Thank you. I agree that explaining the angles really helped.

I have tried this tool may times over the years and have FINALLY figured out what I was doing wrong. Thank you!

Thanks for posting one of the best tutorials on this subject. That said, I’d like to identify an essential step that you must use or else you have not tied a whip finish knot. You will end up with a series of multi wound half hitches. This was demonstrated years ago by a re-known Catskill fly tier, guide, caster, and fly fishing instructor. The step is simply this: once you begin to spin the tool around the shank of the hook, the tool must travel from Left to Right. Or, another way of say it is that the winds must go towards the eye. I have tried to watch every whip finish tutorial and have not seen this essential step mentioned at all.

Third video I watched to understand this tool. Thank you for explaining all the details. I finally got it to work!

No doubt this video is a great help for a lot of flytiers. Well done, clear instruction. From the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.

NOW I get it!

Awesome! This is what I needed

Great video. I am new to fly tying thanks to covid19. You make it fool proof.... Steve

Thx I was trying to find vids but yours is the best one lol

Thanks for the lesson ,I was given a fly tying kit from my son and wasn't sure how to use the whip finisher. The fly tying world is new to me and it's hard to see exactly how it's done on fly tying videos. God bless.

I have just started learning to make fly's and the whip finishing i couldn't get correct,what a great video no i have mastered it just from watching and practising with your video fantastic video well done thank you so much.

Awesome tutorial, very nice presentation. Thank you !!!

Great training video, well done. You made it look easy.

Thank you so much bud... From hawaii

That was cool

I'm Just starting to tie my Own jigs for LM Bass Fishing and This tutorial is Amazing!! Thanks Friend!!!

A big thank you

I greatly appreciate you doing this video I watched a bunch of them and just can't seem to get it for some reason another your video didn't and I just started fly tying I greatly appreciate cuz I was at my wit's end.

Whip it into shape, go for it, its not too late to whip it, whip it good !

Thank you!!!

Thanks for such a straightforward demo. A friends grandfather passed years ago and left him his entire fly kit that could have easily filled 4-5 of those giant purple Rubbermaid tubs (think 40gal) and my friend was nice enough to set me up a starter kit from the doubles,triples,and even quadruples of tools and materials. I still had to buy a few things but not very much. Anyways the whip finishers always confused me. People would show how to use em but with two or three wrist flicks it'd be done and I couldn't see what was taking place. I'm also in crafting "self-bows" and make my own bow strings. Essentially it's the same process that's used in finishing off "serving" the nocks and center of the main string. Like a reverse wrap if you will. Except on bowstrings your dealing with larger diameter strands so it's easily doable by hand where as with flies the smaller threads,the hook,and the tight quarters make a special tool very useful. Sorry for the rant, thanks a bunch.

Been really struggling with this device but you video has made it seem easy.Thanks

Great job just starting fly fishing and tying great easy tips thank u just subbed ya

This help me so much... I spent 30 mins thinking I could figure it out nope I was way off lol

Great video thanks for share

For over a decade I have tied flies completely backwards. (probably not a big deal) Relearning how to do this when you not only learned to half-hitch by hand (backwards). I should have continued to do it backwards, but old dogs can learn new tricks.

At 63 I am just starting to tie. This helped me so much. Thank you. I fish mostly saltwater. Larger hooks 4/0 to 8/0. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

who invented this ????? amazing piece of logic

Nice tq bro

👍👍👍

Here, hold my beer 🔥🤙🤙😂🤣😎🤙🔥

الله الله الله

One or two knots??? Will just one hold??? Or two ??

I just received a Dr. Slick 6" whip finisher from Barlow's and watched your video to try and learn how to use the tool. I don't know what brand finisher you are using in the video, but the notch on the back end of your finisher is deeper then the notch on my Dr. Slick finisher and no matter how careful I am the thread keeps sliding out of the notch before my whip knot is finished. If you can suggest to me a better martinelli finisher, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Respectfully, George Santee, Ca

Then what do you do? Cut it and put some glue on it?

After u whip it it looks like the knoit comes loose

Good night. Could you please indicate me the name of the tool that holds the hook?

I just don’t see how it makes a knot

Flatting, huh.

don't make it complicated.. it is an eazy stuff to do. 🤣

You're tutorial sucks you just show half of the bite. You don't show the movement of the tool.
