Should work fine.
Small black buzzers hatching on the loch when it is not to windy
You will KILL that plant if you keep sticking hooks into it

They look good, especially the bottom one. I would only suggest trying to make the head a tad bit smaller:-)

from the photo it looks like you used a dyed indian cock hackle. get yourself in touch with saracen and buy one of his natural black saddles - it will be the best £15 you will ever spend. will improve your traditionals no end I promise.

I was having similar problems. spend a little bit more on a decent saddle and you wont look back.

try using a finer thread for the head edd im a poet and didnt know it lol they are fine mate good luck catching on them

Ooh-err, those look jolly good

Just got myself some biots for cheeks but I think I'll have to have a dabble at something like that.

Hello speycaster,,,what threads do you recommend,,,cheers edd

They look very good edd7 and will definately catch, I think you're way beyond the curve for a person tying 5 months, don't sell your gear anymore and keep at it
