marabou

[KOKOEK9 0]

Hi, I need some suggestions on how to control marabou blood quills. I am tying a black ghost streamer with a marabou wing. But a small amount from the quill is to thin and the whole quill tip is way to bushy what do I do. I am finding marabou to be very hard to control

I strip off a load from the feather. Then before tying it in, wet it. Makes it much easier to work with. It compresses down and it stops all the fluffy crap from floating around when trimming it

Fly tying materials are not lego blocks.
