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. -WW fishweewee 05-28-2003, 11:33 AM One more thing...#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& sells VMC open eye siwash hooks. Most useful sizes are 4/0 and 5/0. -WW JHABS 05-28-2003, 12:05 PM MIKE, Have them pre-tied or will sell you the HOOKS........ Mike P 05-28-2003, 12:25 PM 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. Skitterpop 05-28-2003, 10:02 PM 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.
