YS< I've been wondering the same thing. I'm inclined to try the bigger tail hook first. I've got some 6/0 254 Eagle Claws that will give me more length. They may be too heavy though. That's the beauty of the split ring isn't it? Maybe it doesn't even need the treble at all?

The palmered hackle is that rooster tail feather that you saw at the Marlborough Show the other day... Schlappen will do the job just fine.
