Default splitting tails

one turn through the "V" down, one turn through the "v" up, then one
turn under the tails to raise them as desired.
One locking turn,then dub the boddy

Al Beatty uses a small piece of tying thread to split the tails and

then
wrap back over the body before final dubbing. Double the thread, hook

it
around the gape, and pull over body, splitting the tail evenly.

Tighten the
thread loop to spread and/or raise tail before wrapping.

I want to widely split the tails on small sized spinner patterns

WITHOUT
using a "small ball of dubbing"

OR, going nuts from frustrationg,

I bet one or more of you guys has a great method to share?

PS I can use either hackle barbs or microfibit tails
