If I did this right you should be able to see some of the FnF's that I make. Some are from various hairs and furs and the others are made from mallard feathers. I added some sparkle here and there to catch the light. These are proven fish catchers. We almost broke the 7.lb mark last year but it still seems to dodge us..... maybe this will be the year....

those look awsome!! if ya don't mind i may try and copy a couple two or three of them.
They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, so feel free. I started these from a basis pattern that I had seen and made them my own through TWEEKIN"..... . I can never leave well enough alone, I guess that is why the phone always rings when the weather starts to cool down.... .....Good Luck..

I can't wait to see your efforts. I just finished pouring some different hook styles to try in my next patch. I poured some WIDE GAP needle sharp jobs that I know are going to be a REAL HOOT to tie. Those needle hooks are great fish catchers but they are fond of your skin to as you are trying to tie them.... . But that is the price you pay for TWEEKIN"....
Reading an article somewhere on the internet, one fellow uses rabbit hair for summer and craft hair for winter..... Says the fish are less active in winter and craft hair on an FnF will move, but much less than the hair. This is one of those things that are either based on experience, or a shared opinion.....hard to tell which.
Yea it is one of those each to his own deal or that work's for me type things. I have tied for 20+ years now and you learn alot through T&E. I have tried about every kind of hair I can get my hands on. Some worked and some did not, but at least they got a far shake at BASS WISDOM...
guys i want to thank you for the help. you have given me a load of helpful info. now as soon as my craft hair or craft fur which ever its called arrives, i am off to the tying bench. i will post some pic's for you guys to look at , make fun of or poke fun at.
