You'd get at least 6 tricos per feather, on many feathers up to 10, depending on how heavy you hackled. Your money's worth, at least.... DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 6:44 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Line's End purchase

Picture 100's of feathers 10-14" long that will tie 20's...22's...24's!!! I have a Hoffman #2 grizzly that ties down to 20s but it's 4-5 years old and likely a predacessor of these. It was hand picked for me by Fred Reese when he was in the business. I've seen saddles from Hoffman/Whiting from size 10 to 22 before this latest release. What colors and sizes do you have Byard? Heck, you could tie tricos with microfibets, black thread and a wrap of white hackle. (1 saddle/100 feathers would tie almost 2000 tricos!) Murf Dave Murphy
