I seen some chickabou online. It's marabou but from a chicken instead of a turkey. Used for smaller jigs. I tie only 1/64-1/16 jigs for crappie. I use maribou often and wondered if this would be a better alternative to regular marabou and having all the waste. Ever see it or use it? Thanks
Chickabou I have is on the back end of a chicken skin. Like these on the skin that has the laced feathers....

Chickabou is great stuff to use and fairly easy to find...........Almost any type of bird will have it in some form. Even road kills ........... lol You can also use it as a dubbing by just spinning it on your thread and wrapping it on your hook. Have fun tying !

If you need enough of them (different colors) I am sure that I can save you a few bucks, but it takes a little time to order and get them here.
Can anyone tell me how to join a jig swap
just sign up on the sub-board the swaps are on. Just find out which one is just starting and join in.Quote:
