Hends Magic Tool | CDC Clip

Tying in CDC collars and fine feathers can be straightforward with the Hends magic clip to hold your CDC or feathers.

1. Preparation: Select your CDC feathers and trim them to the desired length by clipping them into the tool. Make sure to leave a bit of a taper at the end for a more natural look.
2. Trimming: With the feather clipped in place, you can easily trim any excess without losing your positioning. This step ensures that you maintain the correct depth and length for a balanced collar.
3. Creating the Dubbing Loop: Once you’re satisfied with the length, gather the feather material and incorporate it into your dubbing loop or split thread. Spinning your bobbin holder or dubbing twister will lock the CDC/feather in place before you wrap it around your hook/bead.
4. Wrapping: Carefully wrap the collar around the hook, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed for a uniform appearance.

This method is essential for tying CDC collars on jig patterns, allowing for a neat and effective fly. The CDC feathers create lifelike legs as well as an air case around the fly which greatly increases its effectiveness and realistic appeal to Trout and Yellows.
