I watched some videos on wrapping Marabou, and saw how things are supposed to go. I must admit the feathers in the dry condition are very impressive, but when wet same same as not wrapping. Maybe they have an added attraction when being trolled, not sure. I know my first attempt left me with a really long tail for my size jig. I will try some more and see if I can do it without making a tail a dinosaur would be proud of.



Thinking I should give away these to make room for the newer ones I intend to tie up. They all have their own flaws and such as I am just learning.

Watching videos and seeing a few new tools I need to acquire. Hackle pliers and a spinner. Whatever that thing is. Figure I will get another bobbin while I am at it. Wanting to try lots of the things I am seeing done. Some of the videos were basically showing techniques that can be done on a Norvise. Like $400 is worth being able to do this here boy. My Regal vice doesn’t spin round and round and I ain’t in no race, but dubbin seems popular and I want to try that, too.
