Skip, Are you barring your own hackle? Beautiful jig!
Thanks guys, I appreciate that.
Thank you guys! No barefoot, I just have not tied with these in years and decided to break it out again. Hareline makes this stuff and I bought all that I have a long time ago really. They even stopped selling it for a time, but started back selling some colors, but not as many as they use to. So I do have some colors that are not available at all. Think I have 11 colors of Grizzly SW Hackle. Looks like they sell 6 colors now.
I did break out 5 colors I want to tie something with so maybe I show a few more soon.

I gave a DIY grizzly a try. I took a sharpie to a clump of saddle hackle, added grizzly lateral line feathers and tied up a saltwater streamer. It seems to hold the color well.
