Re: Splitting versus dubbing ropes
I have dabbled with both. But my fly tying mentor, Dr. Faruk Ekich says he only uses dubbing loops, split thread loops are overated.

Re: The Rise of the Neversinker, Fly Tier Rube Cross
Ordered the book and also Cross’ first book on “American lures”. From what I have found Cross is intriguing. Can’t wait to read both of them.
