Dude,

Tie your own, in the long run it will be cheaper. Pre-tied might run $4.00 a pop!

If you don't have a fly tying vise, go to home depot and get a 3 inch bench vise. $20.00

Get a ceramic thread bobbin. $15.00

Get some bucktails ($5.00) and fly-tying thread ($1.00) and some epoxy or Dave's Flexament ($4.00). If you're really ambitious get some krystal flash ($4.00).

If you want to learn how to tie the stuff on the "fly" - ask someone to show you...or get "Fly Tying With Lefty Kreh" video ($25.00).

It's worth it in the long run if you want to learn how to tie flies or have lots of plugs to dress.

One more thing...#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& sells VMC open eye siwash hooks.

Most useful sizes are 4/0 and 5/0.

If you want to tie your own, saddle hackle is easier to work with than bucktail IMO. Cut off the schmutzy stuff near the top of the feathers.

With work schedule and commute and at home work I`ve got about a 65 hour week already.....I`d rather purchse closed eyed trailers made by someone with experience....feathers, bucktail, mylar all are good...most places online have only white or black/dark brown.

Thank you gentlemen!
