I work near Cabelas up in E. Hartford, CT and will probably pick up supplies there. I have no ideas on what's good and what isn't. Perhaps a heads up on what bobbin might be a good value or what to steer clear of? I would also be looking at a few feathers, any advice on what I should look for? bucktail?

"The good end of a bucktail" Well,the tail has the finer hair towards the tip and the heavier towards the butt.Now,both ends have their uses.Think of a sponge.Thats what is actually inside the hair itself.Air is the insulator to keep the deer warm.So,the tip has less air cells so when you put tension from the thread as you wrap around the hair and shaft of the hook it will flair out less than the hairs coming from the butt.
You tube is an awesome place to see everything.Just google your question and something relevant will come up.Just use a few words to ask the question.
Look out.............. you may get hooked on tying.It got me.Big time!
