If you want dyed florescent colors good luck I have no idea where to get them LOL.

I know alot of guys on the fly tying boards are using the clips from Radio Shack Mini Hook Clips - RadioShack.com instead of regular hackle pliers.

Thanks Fatman! I know Conranch and have several of their skins of the Juvenile and too expensive for jigs IMHO, LOL! Probably would have needed to charge the guy more if I used that stuff. That is some excellent skins, but pricey too. I think that I am going to pick up a few more adult skins to see how much there is. I have some nice Red Dun, Honey Dun, Variant & a Badger, but why not get more, LOL!

I just think some of this strung Chinese Saddle hackle is not as good as it could be. I am going to see if the Strung Woolly Booger Saddle is wide enough for what I am doing. I know the Woolly Booger Saddles feathers are very long, but not so wide. I may go back to him to ask if next time the hackle can be more narrow, but almost done with these now. You can bet with about 60-70 of them to do there was a few times I got peeved to say it nice.

Thanks guys,
