Ed Gallop's Instructions: I can't find the originator of the
Paraloop hackling method but I do know it isn't a new method. Here's the
way I tie it:
For
the post you can tie in a section of mono or use thread, floss, etc. Make
a loop in the mono (or whatever) and hold it upright with your finger in the
loop, or use a gallows (parachute tool). Attach the feather as you would
any normal parachute. If you use your left index finger to hold up the
post you can pass the feather around (hand to hand) with your thumb and other
fingers.
Wrap
the hackle on the post as you would a normal parachute. Then pull the loop
forward and secure near the front of the fly. Trim off access post
material. It's as easy as that. Ed. |
