agn54 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2014 I recently was given an old thrown together tying kit that had some standard stuff like peacock hurl, hackles, elk and deer hair etc. It also had a bird skin (or part of one) and a tool that I have never seen before. I think the skin may be from a pheasant (ringneck?) but I am not really familiar with them. The feathers make pretty cool cheeks on baitfish flies and have some nice feathers for soft hackles. I would love to hear any other uses for them. I have no idea what this thing is or how it is used. Any help would be appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agn54 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks Kimo. Looks like all I got was the bobbin holder part of it, the table part of the carousel was missing. Can anyone verify what the skin is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agn54 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks Bassmouth. I thought that's what it was but I think I only have the shoulder part of the skin. Quite a variety of feathers on those birds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimo 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 agn54, Do you have any use for the bobbin holder and would you be willing to sell it? Please PM me. Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimo 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2014 I purchased the bobbin holder from agn54. He wanted me to post a picture of how I was going to modify it for my own use. Kimo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
