Default Knotted PT Legs

Can anyone remember there was guy on here about a year ago selling knotted pheasant tails in various colours.. for a rather good price - the kinda price that makes you think long and hard about ever knotting the damn stuff yourself again? Anyone remember his name?

I bought some Rob and they are good but YGA also sell them at about a fiver for a full feather, and I cannot remember the guy's name either :

Yorkshire Game Angling Feathers

I had theirs before and they are just as good TBH.

Aye, maybe Charlie, but this other guy would tie them 'Taylor made'.... placing the 'knee' where you wanted it - up or down the fibre Now that's my kinda slave labour, oops, craftmanship

Thanks Kev, at least I know now why we haven't seen him around for a while.

Anyone considering a career in knotting pheasant tails, let me know... I hear it's very rewarding.

I rue the day when the scouts stopped doing "bob a job". You'd give 'em say 1/2 dozen feathers, show them how to do it & when then returned with all the fibres knotted twice each give them their 5p.

Can't imagine why they stopped doing bob a job.....
