Did have luck with this tie, but your right seems a tad on the bulk side on retrieve,
so will take your advice an cut back on the next one

Seems like it's that way with most hair jigs, less hair than us feather tyers think. Know I have some flies and jig my friend the Pro tied for my using Rope Dub method and he even did a few Polar Bear ones and there is even less hair that I would have used. So I feel that was a great lesson for me and I want to start tying some of the large amount of hair that I have, even some Polar Bear I look forward to tying.
