Shame about the bourbon, though. 19 hours ago, cphubert said: grizzly hackle 19 hours ago, cphubert said: Nice touch with the grizzly hackle, how do you tie those in? Vertical and on top of the shank, then pull back the bucktail? It would make a great yellow perch pattern with a little bit of olive and yellow bucktail, or even as tied.

cphubert 0 Report post Posted March 16 Thunder Creek Salt Mackerel after seeing the heads Norm made with UV I can never go back to lacquer, or Sally's. I don't know why I resisted this it is faster, more economical, maybe more durable (not bluefish tested) and looks wonderful. Hook- Mustad 34011, thread- red, body- pearl braid, wing/head tied thunder creek style- two blue grizzly saddle tips/ pearl krystal flash with blue bucktail top and white bucktail bottom/ UV coated head with Sally yellow and black painted eyes.
