Yes, some of the jungle cocks could be better. I 'm using a C grade patch to begin with. at first, i was using the fly tying wax i had was doing nothing, then Joe Cordeiro got me some of the gerkies (sp?) wax, and that works much better. Now I wax any amhearst or golden phesant feathers too.
I'll try the cement way, but how do you get them to dry without them sticking to anything?
Steelhead, yes some collars could be better, sometimes i tye in the bottom too long and dont have long enough bucktails to get the right length for the top
Need to find some super-long mutant bucktails
