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

Use a piece of small thread and wrap it around the bend of the hook
to form a V. Use the thread to split the tails, lash down the scrap
piece with your tying thread and move on.
