    Not much into streamers or flies, but I do tie up all my own Marabou Crappie jigs, and do my hook dressings on in-lines, spoons, etc. that I mold/make up. I know where you were coming from on the quality of the product aspect, and the last order I placed was for blood quills as a trial. They were amazingly different and a lot easier to tie in. Don't know where you are in the Ozarks, but I lived in Branson West/Reeds Spring area for 8 1/2 years and loved it. 4 lakes to fish, in such a close proximity, and many more within a short drive not counting the rivers and creeks. Largemouth, Smallmouth, Trout, and just about anything a fisherman could ask for. Table Rock and Tanneycomo were the bomb. Simply loved it and wish I was still there. But I'm only a few hours away here in OkieLand, and we have some jaw droppin' good waters here as well.

One suggestion might be a bit more detail on when somebody might want to consider alternatives to blood quills. I struggled with this a bit in the beginning of tying streamers.

    Marabou is one of my favorite materials for streamers and intruders it gives these flys great movement and can help build a nice Silhouette.problem is getting good marabou. It seems like no matter how well you pic the materials in the bag you end up with at least 30% that’s just not usable . I am lucky enough to have a friend who owns a fly shop and is a great tier to get a some giant bags of marabou that was pretty much all quality feathers . Makes a big difference as you say when tying . Happy Trails

    Just sub'd. You teach well, I'm a beginner, and feathers have been a puzzlement to me. This clears up a lot..... But also Palmering is a ? I see how to apply it for body, but I see it's also used with wire, but seems to be a mimic of a bug body... I see it used, but no explanation. Not you, others, really not explaining a profile build of the why's, just the how. Marabou, you explained, stem, thick or thin, tips, but I saw a lot of wasted marabou for a very short tail, and a big ass marabou feather being wasted. The snip was a good lesson, twist and cut. What about "chickapou" as smaller marabou for small jigs 1/4 oz to as little as 1/80 oz? Being beginner, I'm on a steep learning curve, lol!

Wooly Bugger marabou is a super short quill, so by the time you get down the quill to the fluffy stuff, those fibers are usually pretty short. I use blood quills, and extra-select marabou the most.
