Mr. Park from McHardy's of Carlisle is very adept at tying these and would demonstrate if you can get to the shop. Otherwise, I would suggest you ring him- he is generally very helpful.

natural paintbrush bristles have been known to work - if you pull them through the fingers to curve them, but since pig bristles are only £1=50 for a pack it seems like false economy when taken against the costs of salmon fishing

On the subject of PBP's, be careful how you store them. I left about thirty in a tube fly box and many of them have now got flattened and mis-shapen bristles, which is annoying...

Mishapen Bristles on PBP's, easy fix - use the missus' hair straighteners (GHD's are the biz).
It will allow you to put in as much as a curve as you want
