Have done this before, but wanted to just show how guy can use Mini Marabou on a small jig. I could have done a little more at the next pretty easy, but just wanted to tie this using just the one tiny feather.

Very nice Skip!
Looks good skip. What’s the size difference between and strung marabou thanks

Oh there is a huge difference in the size of the mini to say strung Blood Quills. Here is a picture to compare a normal Mini to a normal Blood Quill.Quote:

Dave, I had a couple of friends come over and we tied jigs and ate crappie tacos a couple of times. It was great fun. Just putting your heads together helps everyone involved, and the tacos were great! I would take a class with Skip myself.
Yeah, I definitely would like to take a class with Skip as the instructor!
It would even be better if we could do it on-line, live.
I had the pleasure a few years ago of visiting Skip at his house and checking his shop out. And I have broke bread with him several times at the LA camps at Toledo Bend. Skip is a great guy and a awsum tyer. Awsum job on that roadrunner Skip!
Thank you "G", much appreciated! we always have had good times over at the LA Camp get togethers. I have always felt it would be really nice to have more guy and gals tying near me, but just has not happened, at least that I know of. I do know there are some fly tying guys that meat somewhere on Toledo Bend, but I don't know them.Quote:

That way I got a real education on the subject from the language to the techniques used. It's been a lot of fun and a great ride that I hope just keeps going.
I also have really enjoyed helping others in their quest to learn about tying jigs.
Thanks again guys,
Skip
You have been a great inspiration to me and I am sure a lot of other fellows.
