Thread Control – Tying with A LOT of Pressure!
In this fly tying video Gunnar Brammer is all about Thread Control and tying with the proper amount of pressure for tying Streamers.
Here’s what Gunnar had to say about this video:
“In the video I demonstrate just how hard I tie. Talk about the importance of a circular thread path. I explain the benefits of Spinning Thread and the importance of an aggressive Thread Base. Lastly, I tie in a clump of bucktail, showcasing how to properly catch and lock in a material, followed by trying my darnedest to pull out said clump (and failing to do so). ”
Threads Gunnar uses:
Danville’s 210 Flymaster Plus (White)
Danville’s .006 Mono Thread
GSP 200 (White)
Vise: HMH TRV

Flexible Extension – Weedless Bass and Pike Flies – Gunnar Brammer
This style of tying is an adaptation of Derek Filkins HPU – Hook Point Up – series of flies, where he uses Masion’s Hard Mono for the extension. This was only recently brought to my attention and will be noted for future videos tied in this style.
Hey guys, this is an updated tutorial of my Texas Hook Shank Extension video – this update allows you to tie on an extended shank and give you the freedom to tie a multitude of patterns on a Weedless platform, yet the extension, when bumped, will simply flex out of the way. Because the extension utilizes Titanium Wire, it will spring back into place every time, without worry of being kinked, drying out, or being cut by predator teeth such as pike/musky.
Hook: Ahrex Hooks 5/0 Texas Predator
Shank: FlymenFishingCo 25mm Fishspine
Wire: Knot 2 Kinky – 25lb
* for smaller hooks and sizes I’d recommend decreased wire strength for more flexibility and less resistance.
