spinner 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 I can't really do that. I use the hair from deer i shot and i don't tan it, I just salt it and it's as hard as a rock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a Tandy, or other leather crafting shop near by, you can get scrap leather strips for cheap by the pound usually. I personally use a small long clump of marabou for mouse tails too. I add 4 rubber legs to mine too, large white color, and I do some with flylipps to get the wiggle. Cheers, Futzer. PS, nice fly too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
