So, a few months ago I splashed out on a Petitjean magic tool set and dubbing twister.
I had been put off by the price but my goodness. The dubbing spinner is AWESOME - it works amazingly . FAR better than any of the other rubbish on the market
So I was feeling brave last night and had my 1st go at spinning rhea in a dubbing loop - and here is the result.
As with everything else I have a lot of stuff I bought ages ago but never used - Coloured shanks, rhea etc so thought it was time to make use of it.
Rather than supporting the rhea with a dubbing ball I opted to reverse tying some yellow bucktail in behind it so that the rhea does not collapse in the flow.
The shank is a 25mm Seyno shank, with beadalon wire ( Hobbycraft) and size 4 'octopus' hook ( bought a job lot from tackle bargains before they closed)
