Borden Special Muddler







Skipped a tag and wing since there’s enough going on here as it is. Need to re-visit the pink dye formula - worked okay for feathers but in order to get the right shade on the ungulate I couldn’t leave it in the dye bath long enough to soak thru (hence the light/white butts on the trimmed hair). When it did soak thru, the color was way too deep (a neat shade of hot red that will be used somewhere).

hook - WFC Model 6 #8
thread - UTC 140 fluoro pink
rib - small wire silver
tail - turkey flat fibers dyed hot pink (1 Tbs Rit Fuchsia/4 cups water) over yellow (1 Tbs Rit Lemon Yellow/1 cup water)
body - Ice Dub Fluoro Pink
body hackle - dyed hot pink/dyed yellow
shoulder - chukar yellow
head/collar - pronghorn dyed hot pink

Regards,
Scott
