Just starting to tie flies. I've made a couple and it's going okay so far. I've collected a few feather items as I've needed them but I'd like some jungle cockeyes. There seem to be so many grades and prices. Can anyone tell me where, maybe from your experience of being satisfied, I could get some? Price is always important but just knowing they'll get here and be decent and in one piece is too. So, personal recommendations would go a long way. And yes, I know that an order can always not be what someone else's was at a previous time. But, pointing me in some direction would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Are you wanting to use the real thing or the ones made on plastic film?

Hmm... the real thing. If I purchase artificial ones I think they are inexpensive enough and would pretty much be of decent quality since they are manufactured. The real ones are the ones that are hard to decide on. Just like other feathers. Some places have decent ones and others look good in the pictures only.

But if you have a good, cost effective plastic version from a reliable supplier I'd be interested too.

Thnx.
