I finally made it to Cabella's today after work and got my bobbin and some thread, whip finisher, head cement, hackle pliers, I could keep buying tools I'm sure. Anyway, got home and put this together, I'm going to call it Mardi Gras until I think of a better name. I'm sure it will fall apart, I'm not really sure how to do the whip finish tool yet, but I put some glue on it, so maybe it will catch a fish first. -------- Fish ON!

One thing I noticed though is the head cement caused the powder to discolor, it's orange where it touched the head. Last edited by FishR2099; 12/06/12 04:29 AM. -------- Fish ON!
