Thread necks and mallard flank

[CrappieDreamer]

I decided to try something new to me and bought a package of natural mallard flank feathers to try working into marabou.

I’ve been trying various methods (cutting really short V’s, palmering and wrapping feathers, etc.) but haven’t settled on a method I like yet.

I also decided to break down and try some UV resin on the thread necks. I like it so far.



I probably should have added a bit of flash, but mainly focusing on the tail right now.

Any pointers?

Very nice Jeff. I was wondering what made that look on the threads. I was thinking it was the softex stuff. I like that look myself.

I know less than a thimble full of air about tying jigs. But I know I like those. Very nice. I would like to see some with green head, black thread neck and chartreuse feathers.

Tie it in by the tip fold the feather in half and wrap it around it will add in better

Thanks, I will try that. I was doing it the other way around (tying in the base, folding and wrapping.
