La Bamba

This video of Jack was shot a number of years ago during a stopover at LAX. I don’t know much of the story behind it. The pattern looks like some sort of soft hackle streamer. While it turns out that tying while driving is not an offense in Los Angeles county, Jack was ticketed and fined for exceeding the maximum turns of thread allowed under California law.
