First attempts with saltwater neck hackle

I finally had some time to tryout some supplies from Skip.

Not as pretty as others I've seen on the forum but fun to make!

A Brother-in-law is supposed to come over to help try them out tomorrow.

Nice colors and nice ties.

They look like crappie catching jigs to me. You should also try Chart/Blue/Chart for sure and of course Chart/Black.Chart!

So what is special about saltwater hackle and what's the difference? I can't see any difference. All this stuff is new to me.

Like the color patterns

SW Neck Hackle is longer and wider/webbier and Hareline has the best that I ever found so it is what I use. So the method I use for tails is the tip with the little V's and using this Hackle you get more V's form each feather. However the down side is it cost most, but most guys once they get some want to stay with using it! That says a lot right there and also using feathers from guys that do a better job of their dye work and just sell better quality makes more st just like it better. They don't have as many colors as the shorter brother to the SW Hackle, but it's a lot nicer to tie with. It's one of the things one has to experience to really see the difference.
