    Default My first crack at marabou


    I finally broke down and got myself some supplies and gave feathers that did'nt come from the yard.
    How did I do?

    Looks pretty good! You know some don't use flash at all and I use to be like that. Finally though I started putting one strip on each side and did well. However I do plan next spring to use a lot more without any flash and I do have a reason, but will hold that to myself for now. After the experiment I will tell next year.

    Good looking ties - marabou takes getting used to, some days it ties up with no problems and then there are those days when you'll cuss at it like crazy!!!

    Thanks. It's a little different than doing hair jigs. My biggest issue is I have nerve damage in my hands and I can't feel ths feathers. I must admit that I don't use flash alot and I prefer to use peacock herl like on the pink ones. Thanks again.

    I think you did an outstanding job of tying them. Thanks for the info on the peacock herl. Didn't know what it was. I also thought that flash was part of three jig kind of a requirement. But I just might tie some now with out it.
