How to Palmer a Woolly Bugger Chanelle

Video Transcript

Next thing we're going to do is palmer our Chanel forward. Now, there's a couple of ways you can do it. If you have a traditional vice that doesn't have the rotary feature, and the bobbin cradle. You can just basically wrap it by hand up to the front of the hook, or if you do have a rotary vice, you can use the bobbin cradle here, bring that forward. It should be level with the eye of the hook, and then just flip your bobbin over the cradle. Then all I have to do is hold onto my material and then just spin the vice as I wrap my Chanel forward. You just want to make sure you get it nice and even, no overlaps, no gaps. Just wrap it all the way up to the front of the hook. You don't want to wrap it all the way up to the eye. You do want to leave a little gap there so you can tie all this material off and make a little head. So, now, I'm going to pull my thread out of the bobbin cradle and I'm going to hold my Chanel at an angle forward here and then just capture it with just a couple of wraps of the thread. And while I continue to hold it, I'm going to clip it off, being careful not to clip that thread, right behind the eye of the hook. Now that I've got it clipped off, I'll go ahead and make a couple of secure wraps with my thread again, just to make sure it's all locked down. So, now, I've got my Chanel, my underbody.
