knotted pheasant legs

[fly punk]

This has probably been covered more than once, but does anyone know of a site that shows how to knot pheasant legs? I have the tool but cant seem to put it all together:confused:. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey Punk,

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I just hold the pheasant tips in one hand then make a loop and reach in with a tweezers and pull the butt end through. Then I apply some clear fingernail polish to the tips to hold them together. Let them dry before you tie them in.

Good luck,

Hi Trad,

Thanks for posting that video link. I have the same tool, but I haven't used it in years and also forget the tricks for using it.

That is about nine bucks and will probably last a lifetime!
