Wow, Buddy!! Thank you! I'm off to Ace hrdwr to see if they have it (in this store). A friend gave me bunches of turkey feathers, and having tried out most of the other remedies here, was sorta dreading what came next! NO MORE!!
I would think you could coat the ends of your hackle winders so the ends would hold better and not drop the feather/biot/herl at most inopportune times!!
Crossing fingers ... I'm off!
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
