So, Sensei recommends breaking a good wheel so that you can learn how to fix a broken wheel. Grasshoppers, be aware who the real SENSEI is and follow his advice. Remember that they didn’t change nets but just threw them over the other side of the boat. Just saying
I decided against better judgement to view the Sensei School vimeo. It appears that grasshopper has it correct in that a fly rod is just a POLE. Now if he can just learn to tie that grasshopper pattern.
Great Question Jim ! I find that the only successful manner to wrap peacock herl is to wrap it around my thread multiple times forming a cord like (chenille) looking affair and then wrapping this onto the hook shank. It seems to give good iridescent shine as well as reduce the number of time the herl breaks.
