Hi Rene I believe it depend on the pattern you tie and it's size. There are lot of variants: knotted rubber legs. Also Edwards reccomended bend them with hot needle knotted pheasant tail fibres horse hair bended with hot tweezers knotted biots Keep tying Vladimir (Vlad) Markov [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.keeptying.com http://markov.8m.com

Had the oportunity to watch Oliver Edwards at a show. In his book he recommeds to use water fowl feathers (or partridge body feather), glue them with cement and bend them with heat. Hot tweezers or comparable. During the show he used rubber legs and bend them with a sugical instrument - like a small soldering iron, used for eyesurgerey. I saw feather steams with some barbules on them as feathers. What are your recommendations? Rene Germany
