FliesbyNight 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2022 So a friend of mine who recently passed away was getting into fly tying and I am slowly inheriting his stuff as his wife goes through it. I came across some pieces in his kit that I cannot identify. I assume he intended to use them for tying because they were in the kit with beads and hooks but I have no idea what the flying hell they might be used for. You might not be able to see it but there is a small hole in the tip. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
