Gives your fly a professional whip finish every time.
Product Review
Product Description
The Matarelli whip finisher is the original whip finishing tool often copied but never duplicated. The whip finish is used to complete a fly tying off the head with the "whip finish knot". Many tyers can preform this knot without the aid of a tool but for most people the whip finish tool is the way to produce great results every time you tie a fly.

Once you get the hang of it, it's the best thing for a fly tier since buttered bread. I've seen professionals tie a sow bug in 20 seconds on a #18 hook...no cement used. It may be a little cumbersome at first, but once you get the motions down pat, you can't beat it. I tie more "realistic" flies, and being able to whip finish them is a major plus since I don't have to use laquer or cement which is always messy, and many times leaves a film on the fly head that I don't like.
