Pat,
I would like to see your painting technique one day, maybe when it starts getting cold outside.
What are you using to make the silver look like chrome? I have CS vinyl paint and the silver looks opaque.
I second your belief in sharp hooks, they are the cheapest part of fishing and the worst place to pinch pennies.
Along with marabou I use Arctic fox tail, bucktail, and dyed wool. Stiff synthetics like supreme hair are durable but I think they could interfere with a fish sucking in the bait.
JArner,
Pat has an excellent tutorial on flig making. If you want I would be happy to show you my technique, its quick but does require a drill and belt sander.
