a little off your search but - have you ever tried to whip finish by hand? I have used a finisher tool and never did get comfortable with it... actually broke the arm off it. Now i use what is left of the tool as a dubbing picker. IMO you can place the knot where you want a little better by hand, but that is just my personal pref.

I'm sure someone will have a link to a fly tying supplier that does sell them.

I forget what model/manufacturer I have, but I got it at Bass Pros hop and do up to 4 oz. Ultra Minnows with it. Never did 1 whip finish by hand lol.

Grandpa Bob's sells one with a larger handle, but it's not brass.

Do all mine by hand also. So much faster and can out it right where you want it and tuck it up under chenille when it tightens.

This if the biggest one I can find, but learn it by hand too!!!! Both ways have their place

:notworthy: LOL that was funny..

I use a whip on all my jigs and flies. My fingers split in the cold months so I have to be careful not to slide the thread over the splits. I have got use to using the whips. I bought the biggest brass one at Netcraft.
