Been tying for 35 years and still haven't figured out how to use a Griffin
whip finisher. Materelli for smaller flies and presentation finishes, hand
whip for larger flies.

It's all related to finger size. Long slender fingers = easy by hand. Fat
stubby fingers like
mine = Tuff to whip finish by hand. Hate those Matarelli tools. Too much
slippage.

Eric,
It's a shame you're a 6 hour drive from here. I'll be tying at a fly
show at the IN State Fairground on Jan. 7th. I could have you doing a reliable
whip finish in 5 minutes. Well, no more than 6 or 7, anyway.
I will admit, however, I STILL use the Matarelli tool on midges and
other small flies. Just a matter of preference.
But maybe it's just as well you live so far away. Just think about it a
minute. Having a Worm and a Fish together would definitely generate too many
snarky comments. :-P
