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?

Lovely finish, definitely one to practice!!

Something I hadn't given much thought to but
makes perfect sense to me ...

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.
Thank you for the tutorial.

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