The Whip Finish Using a Matarelli Tool

Here's an awesome link that shows how to tie a whip finish knot on your jig with a Matarelli whip finishing tool. The whip finish is thought by many to be the most secure knot for fly (and jig) tying.

However, some jig tyers do not need a "bridge" tool to assist with tying the knot.  If you've ever played pool, you'll understand what I mean. ;) I mentioned the method of tying the whip finish by hand on the site back in 2009.  It's worth revisiting.

Try both methods sometime to see what you think. :)
