Two in front, angle back, two to the back. You eliminate one of my steps, which is your trademark (in my opinion). Very neat and efficient.

Not quite - two wraps total, both in front - or is that what you meant? 8-)

Hank, you had never given thought to tying off ribbing? Your fish must have wondered about the trailing long metal 'tail' on your flies.... ;)

Hans,
I had noticed you doing pulling the material to the back of the hook at tie-off, but didn't catch the significance of crossing the material twice.
I'm going to try to teach myself to remember to do that. :roll:
Thank you for the tutorial.

My tying off ribbing technique has altered now. For the better.
