Apologies Paddy for the late response, and thanks.

The quill and CDC are from Lucian, on here, the shuck is three strands of clear ice something or other. Wing is coastal deer.

Very sexy Mike, I see you are using cranked hooks, do you find them superior in hooking to standard hooks?

Hold a straight one between finger and thumb, Steven, applying light pressure, then pull it out and away from fingers quickly. Everything ok? Not impaled yourself? Good. Now try it with an offset hook.

For buzzers, yes.

It's on a size 14 B100, probably too heavy, and offset, but I figure the CDC and deer hair will keep it up, but what do I know? Still playing.

Thread is Bennechi 12 Tobacco, lovely stuff.
