Thanks Skip

for telling me about the saltwater neck hackle and the way you tie it. I got my hackle today and tried the way you use one end piece and cut the "V's" out of the wider part of the feather. Where I was using 3 feathers to tie 1 jig, I can now tie a jig with 1 feather. The jigs look better also, I think.

Ya got it down now!!!!! Good looking jigs!!!

Looking good and I knew you would like that stuff better. I end up after a few months with a big Qt. bag I keep my working bunch in and by that time there is a bunch of extra little V's for use and can pick 2 from what you already have. You can just pick if you want long ones or short ones.

Glad you like the Salt Water Neck Hackle and it's the only stuff I will buy a pound of, but only a very few colors. I may have to add a couple more before long.

Oh and almost forgot to say I also think you get more action like this.
Skip

The jigs are looking good.

Very nice jigs Scott

Thanks guys.

Yes,very nice.I will have to give that hackle a try!!

I think you're on the right track Scott Skip is always been a big help on anything that is guys need in the way of tying up jigs with material Skip has definitely helped me out quite a few times with different materials in all soul painting.

Skip is one of the good guys on this site and has helped many who were willing to listen. I too learned much from him about five years ago too. He and I often share tying secrets with each other. I can't wait to see his you tube or DVD videos.

You have it down just right. Your jigs look very good.

Yep Skip has "ruint" another one.. lol

Nice job, great looking jigs!
