Default Dave Downie Materials

Was in Angus Angling today and purchased a couple of bags of Black Velvet Marabou, Spring Water Blue, Bubble Gum Pink and Candy Floss Coral which I thought looked pretty damned good for Woofta Booby's. Also, got a pack of the Cat Booby Chenille "The Right Stuff". I know what I'll be doing at the vice tomorrow anyways!! There was also plenty of 6mm and 15mm fritz in pretty much every colour. As well as Sunburst Marabou and Damsel Olive Marabou.... Hope this of interest to all you tyers out there.

Regards,
Aaron

I was going to order from his website but i saw that your stuff hadn't arrived but thought better of it. Was going to get some from Andersonangling but they appear to put 95p per bag mark up on the stuff. I'm not pre-pared to pay that given the fact that i want quite a lot. I'd be throwing £20 down the drain!!

How long have you been waiting for now??

You cant get better marabou for the price

I have used Davers marabou for 3 years now, and I have to say its the best I have ever used, whether you wait or not.
