It seems a shame to waste the remainder of the feathers once you have the eyes out, can these be used for anything else?

Hadn't even considered that Andrew, probably as I've never tied a cruncher yet
Nice tip, cheers.

Another great tip, many thanks.

I've a nice wee collection of "odds" now, these will be added for future use

Makes cracking spider hackles, and you can color the tips with marker pens to suit.
