Hi guys,

I have just been reading a post by Scott Throop where he used Mylar fly tying tinsel in the centre of a rod wrap.

Could anyone please explain the technique to me?

Thanks,

Dave

David,
Not sure how Scott does it, but when I use it, I put a band of one or two wraps on top of the finished thread wrap, or bare blank between double foots, and nail knot in place.

Mick,
That´s a cool, practical way to give good use of Mylar Tinsel !!!
Nail knot, would have never thought about it.
Thanks!

I use it just like i would use thread to do a single inlay....same tecnique. Its a little trickier because its flat vs. round, but works great. Heres how I do inlays: [www.getbentsportfishing.com] ...Just scroll down to the pics from "Finadict" (thats me).

Hi Scott,

Thanks for replying to my post. Unfortunately, I will have to register on the web site you indicate before I can view your information. I'll be doing that tommorow.

I must admit that I was wondering if someone had found a method of adhering the mylar tape to the rod blank before it was coated with epoxy. I now get the impression that it is trapped under thread wraps. That sounds liike it could be a bit tricky to me. Has anyone tried to glue it in place?

Thanks,

Dave
