[Image: dumb.gif][font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000]I seem to have a problem when it comes to tying on a pair of goose biots for feelers. The only way that I can keep them from becoming one is to glue them into position before tying them in. Anyone have any suggestions or tips to offer otherwise?[/#008000][/font]

A ball of dubbing, but nothing wrong with the gluing idea. Might even make them stronger.

odd you should say that sis.. I saw that trick on line when I was looking on how to tie a cates turkey fly.. according to what they said a very small ball of dubbing helps to hold the turkey feather in place and in the case of tail feathers helps to seperate them at the same time.. [Smile]
