Steelhead, are you tying at the show this year. If so maybe you could aim me at some of those saddles also. I'd like to find some jungle cock that I don't have to remortgage my house for too. Thanks

Haven't been asked by anyone this year. Usually tie for Salt Water Edge. PM me on the saddles and jungle cock....
