As a new(er) fly tyer, I really appreciate these videos! Yes, some stuff needs to be bought from fly shops, and I'm all for supporting them. However, certain things show up in the mail and I'm looking at this tiny bag of stuff I probably could have gone to a bigger store, bought miles of and been set for life! haha
Don't know where you are shopping, but you can buy one off Amazon for a little more than 9 bucks. Even at $23 the savings with the amount of material yielded from the Bonnie Cord by far benefits over buying the EP fibers already to tie with at a fly shop.

Love bonnie cord, pure polypropylene and it floats like a cork. Great stuff. Excellent demo.
Yep, thanks Pete, it is great stuff
again thanks, and I agree with Joe I like your rambling it's great info as always
Thanks. I don't mind the rambling, you have a lot good advise!👍
Thank you Joe.
Thank You for sharing, thank you very much.
if you pull the individual strands apart first, it's easier to brush it out. Just pull one strand out at a time. It's pretty easy to do.
very cool man
thank you
nice vid thanks
Thank you Mark
👍👍👍💖💖🐠
had no idea EP was made of polypro. man have I been paying out the nose for EP brushes lol.
Hi, GREAT video!!! The problem i have, that we (in Europe) can''t buy the felting tool. Is there a possibility to order it by you?
You can go to a pet store and get a grooming brush.
I do the same thing with paracord I had,i first use a comb to separate the fibers then a stiff brisll hair brush to fluff up the fibers,works well
seanfishingtexas thanks for showing an old dog, new tricks!
Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to tying.
But what is EP, and what is it used for?
It's typically used like you would use buck tail.
Thank you.
Does this material sink or float sir?
@sugriv3405 that depends on how much material is used and the size of the hook.
@@TheFrugalFlyRodder thank you
That felting tool is $23.00 so are you considering that when you are figuring your savings?

Where did you get the Bonnie cord
Hobby Lobby
Dog Brush is big and fast
Yes, I've used one of those for a while now.
Sorry I found it
why not use a coffee grinder and if you don't want to use a coffee grinder use two dog brushes
A coffee grinder would make dubbing not strands for streamers.
