    I have ordered in the past from Zucker's. My experiance is that sometimes the shades were way off color. Sometimes it was like a crap shoot. May be they have gotten better as it was 10 years or so ago that I did any business with them. Crazy Angler is using Wapsi feathers and the colors are as uniform today as they will two years from now. May pay a little more but you will get what you pay for. Fair warning a pound of feathers will tie a lot and I mean a lot of jigs. You had better be a commercial tier to handle that many feathers. Just my experiance.

    mainly I buy my feathers white and die them myself . Many other companies that buy feathers and resell them. Maybe buying from several different outfits. So if they're asking for a Pacific color . It may very depending on who they are get in there feathers from yes be careful buying a pound of feathers a pound of feathers will apply one hell of a lot of jigs. I suggest if you are going to buy a pound that you get several people involved . Even with four people that you split it you will still have a ton of jigs .
