Dealing with 'wrapping' zonker tails

There are many ways of dealing with the problem of zonker tails that 'wrap' during the cast, but I like this simple method by Capt. Tim Tannis.
He uses a piece of plastic tube, cuts it halfway through the middle, then cuts from the end to take a slot out of it.
Instead of a tube I used a goose quill and it worked quite well.
Tie the zonker strip onto the hook, then slip the tube over the zonker tail with the cut out facing the hook.

Wrap the slotted end onto the hook as shown after adding some glue.

Continue with the rest of the fly, hiding the tube.

A South African Fly Tying Journey with Ed Herbst and Friends
Ed Herbst & Andrew Ingram DVD PAL 80 mins R199.00
Ed Herbst and Andrew Ingram's first DVD on South African fly tying and fly fishing focuses on the evolution of tackle, tactics and fly patterns which has seen us move from four weights in the seventies, to the Orvis Ultrafine 2-weight in the early eighties and now to the latest Sage Triple 000 and from a period when #14 flies were considered small to our current micro-patterns.
Herbst and Ingram have included Tom Sutcliffe, Dean Riphagen, Fred Steynberg and of course Ed Herbst as the tyers of classic South African dry flies. You will see them tying and fishing the Caribou spider, RAB, Xmas Xaddis, G&B Low Floater and Shuck Emerger ... as they tell the story in their own words. This DVD will be followed by another on terrestrials towards the end of the year. Buy Online
