Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Alan, nope its rooster from an Appenzella Rooster we had who was too aggressive. I had hoped to dye them as they are white with black tips but have not found time for that yet. French Patridge would look good also though. I have some claret FP somewhere I always forget about.

Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Its gold mylar tubing http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turrall-Tying-Tubing-Synthetic-Material/dp/B004Z76EF4 Tied in at the head and folded back over its self so the frayed tips make a tail/butt of sorts. Estaz or Fritz etc would be too bulky down the length of the body for a tiny tube like this. (10mm) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
